    Hier der NASA Hinweis: Space Shuttles Endeavour and Atlantis on Neighboring Launch Pads
    Fri, 17 Apr 2009 04:19:28 PM EDT
    Friday at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, space shuttle Endeavour completed its 4.2-mile trek from the Vehicle Assembly Building to Launch Pad 39B. With Atlantis on nearby Launch Pad 39A, this marks the final time that two shuttles will be on the launch pads at the same time, as the shuttle program draws to a close next year.


    Atlantis is targeted for liftoff May 12 at 1:31 p.m. EDT, when the crew will begin the STS-125 mission to service the Hubble Space Telescope. Atlantis' mission payload is set to arrive at the launch pad Saturday evening.


    Prior to its STS-127 mission to the International Space Station, Endeavour will remain on standby at the launch pad in the unlikely event that a rescue mission for the Atlantis crew members would be necessary during their mission. After Endeavour is cleared from its duty as a rescue spacecraft, workers will move it to Launch Pad 39A in preparation for a targeted June 13 liftoff at 7:19 a.m. EDT.


    At NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston, the STS-125 astronauts continue training for their servicing mission, which will include five spacewalks.

  • Ja Gus, :huhu:


    das hatte ich eigentlich auch auf meinem Reiseplan, fliege allerdings am 13.5 um 11:10 schon wieder von Ft.Lauderdale zurück nach MUC,
    und dies wird mir dann wahrscheinlich zum wieder runterfahren zu stressig ?( Schade allerdings :§$%: Und man waeis ja auch nie, ob das mit dem Zeitplan
    dann auch so hinhaut :?:


    Trotzdem überleg ich es mir immer wieder ?( , Servus klaus54 :chill:
