"Go" For Tanking, Weather Still Good For Launch

Launch teams were given the “go” to begin fueling space shuttle Endeavour’s external fuel tank with more than 500, 000 gallons of super cold liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen. Tanking is scheduled to begin at approximately 11:36 p.m. Forecasts remain at a 70 percent chance of favorable weather for Endeavour’s liftoff set for 8:56 a.m. EDT. Teams are not working any issues that would delay launch. NASA Television coverage will begin live at 11:30 p.m. and at http:www.nasa.gov/ntv.
