NASA Endeavour Crew Prepares For Launch
February 25, 2008
Orlando (dbTechno) - The crew of the NASA space shuttle Endeavour are already in final preparations for their launch on March 11. They were strapped in on Monday for a practice countdown as they prepare for their 16-day mission to the International Space Station.
The crew was out and about getting ready for launch on Monday. Shuttle commander Dominic Gorie, along with flight engineer Michael Foreman, pilot Gregory Johnson, Richard Linnehan, Robert Behnken, and Japanese astronaut Takao Doi were all taking part in the practice launch.
They all go onto the Endeavour as they ran through exactly what they will be doing on March 11 in the hours leading up to their launch.
The practice ended with a simulated ignition and shutdown of the main engines of the NASA Endeavour shuttle.
The mission for Endeavour astronauts is to install a Japanese logistic module as well as an add-on to the lab’s robotic arm.
The launch on March 11 is scheduled to take place at 2:28:10 a.m.
This comes just three weeks after NASA landed the space shuttle Atlantis. They have six total missions planned for 2008.
