NASA Managers have given a "go" for the 747 Shuttle Carrier Aircraft, carrying space shuttle Endeavour, to depart Edwards Air Force Base and begin a four-and-a-half hour flyover of northern California and the Los
Angeles basin.
Weather is forecast to be clear for the entire flight.
NASA Television will air live coverage of the departure at 8 a.m. PDT. Takeoff is planned for 8:15 a.m.
The SCA and Endeavour will salute NASA's Dryden Flight Research Center
and the Edwards Air Force Base area after takeoff with a low flyby
northbound to Sacramento and the San Francisco Bay Area. Any time after
9:30 a.m. PDT, watch for Endeavour from viewing locations that include
the Bay Area Discovery Museum, Chabot Space and Science Center, the
California State Capitol, Exploratorium, Lawrence Hall of Science and
Monterey Bay Aquarium.
Next the aircraft will travel south,
making a pass over NASA's Ames Research Center and Vandenberg Air Force
Base before heading into the Los Angeles area. Any time after 11:30
a.m., watch for flyovers of Endeavour passing regional landmarks such as
its future home at the California Science Center, Columbia Memorial
Space Center in Downey, Disneyland, The Getty Center, Griffith
Observatory, Los Angeles City Hall, the Long Beach Aquarium of the
Pacific, Malibu Beach, NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, the
Queen Mary, Universal Studios and Venice Beach, among others.
Finally, the SCA and Endeavour will land about 12:45 p.m., at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) for an arrival ceremony before
Endeavour is taken off the 747. The orbiter will be transported to the
California Science Center next month.
The exact timing and path
of the ferry flight will depend on weather conditions and operational
constraints. Some planned flyovers or stopovers could be delayed or
canceled.
