Countdown Clocks Tick Toward Endeavour Launch
Thu, 09 Jul 2009 11:04:42 AM EDT

Launch countdown operations are on schedule with no issues to report, according to launch officials at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The countdown to space shuttle Endeavour's STS-127 launch began on time July 8 at 10 p.m. EDT.

"All systems are in excellent shape," NASA Test Director Steve Payne said during a morning status briefing. "The STS-127 flight crew, Endeavour and launch team are ready to go."

The STS-127 astronauts will review their flight plan today, relax and check out their launch-and-entry suits as launch day approaches.

Liftoff is scheduled for Saturday at 7:39 p.m. Due to expected showers, thunderstorms and anvil clouds in the area, the launch weather forecast continues to be 40 percent "go."
