Yay! Space Shuttle Endeavour STS – 123 succesfully launched in the early hours of today, it launched at 2:28am EST (6:28am GMT). STS-123 is the 25th shuttle mission to the International Space Station.
I will have to watch the highlights later today of the launch as it was a school day for me and it was at 6:28am UK Time, wooot!. So I will check it out later and keep up-to-date with the latest the mission.
About This Mission:
Endeavour is taking the first section of a Japanese space lab to the ISS, The Japanese lab complex is the latest research addition to the $100bn (£50bn) ISS project. Europe’s Columbus space lab arrived last month, joining Nasa’s own research base at the station, a module called Destiny that has been in space since 2001.
Future Space Shuttles:
Launch dates for the rest of this year can be shown here, the remaining seven flights in 2009/10 are under review. The crew of the space station is expected to rise from three to six in mid-2009. After Endeavour’s flight there are only 11 shuttle flights before the orbiters are retired.
