Scientists and technicians at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida Wednesday were again prepping Endeavour for liftoff. Three previous launch attempts were scrubbed because of thunderstorms in the Cape Canaveral area. Liftoff is scheduled for 6:03 p.m. EDT Wednesday.
The Mission Management Team met Wednesday morning and approved the start of the three-hour fueling operation for the 16-day mission to the International Space Station, the space agency said. The mission is to include five spacewalks to complete construction of the Japan space agency's Kibo laboratory.
NASA TV said it would provide full countdown coverage beginning at 12:30 p.m. EDT at http://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/nasatv/index.html.
