Endeavour's "Rollout" Gets the Green Light

Space shuttle Endeavour's move from NASA Kennedy Space Center's Vehicle Assembly Building to Launch Pad 39A is on track for tonight starting at 8 p.m. EST.

The launch team met for a final assessment at 3:30 p.m. and concluded that weather had improved sufficiently to support the move, known as "rollout."

Shuttle Launch Director Mike Leinbach gave the team the "go" to begin final roll preps with call-to-stations for the team beginning at 4 p.m. In addition, no significant technical issues are being worked.

NASA Television (www.nasa.gov/ntv) will air live video of the beginning of rollout starting at 8 p.m.
