Landing and Rollout
It's a busy day at NASA today. Space Shuttle Endeavour is scheduled to land at KSC at 2:35 am EDT Wednesday morning. The crew will wake up at 5:56 p.m. to make final preparations for landing, including closing the payload bay doors at 10:49 p.m. and a de-orbit burn at 1:29 a.m. At the same time, ground crews will be busy with the Rollout of Space Shuttle Atlantis. Atlantis will leave the VAB at 8:00 p.m. on the crawler at and head to launch pad 39A. NPR did an interesting profile on the "Crawler Crew."
