KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, Fla. -- Endeavour rolls toward the Vehicle Assembly Building on a transporter to begin the next stage of launch preparation: stacking with the external tank and solid rocket boosters. Endeavour is scheduled to be launched Nov. 29 on mission STS-108. The 11-day mission will carry the replacement Expedition 4 crew to the International Space Station as well as the Multi-Purpose Logistics Module Raffaello, filled with supplies and equipment.

VANDENBERG AIR FORCE BASE, Calif. – At Vandenberg Air Force Base in California, a transporter has been positioned underneath the Orbital Science’s Pegasus XL at Orbital’s hanger. The rocket is mated to NASA’s encapsulated Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array, or NuSTAR, partially out of sight inside the hangar. The transporter will move them to the runway ramp where they will be attached to the underside of Orbital’s L-1011 carrier aircraft. The aircraft will fly the pair from Vandenberg to the Ronald Reagan Ballistic Missile Defense Test Site on the Pacific Ocean’s Kwajalein Atoll for launch. A revised launch date is expected to be set at the Flight Readiness Review. The high-energy X-ray telescope will conduct a census of black holes, map radioactive material in young supernovae remnants, and study the origins of cosmic rays and the extreme physics around collapsed stars.
