STS-123 Update

Space shuttle Endeavour is set to land early this evening at Cape Kennedy, ending a mission that, so far, has had very few problems. That trend seems to be holding. The Florida weather is predicted to be good for the landing.

Perhaps the biggest problem during the mission involved powering up Dextre, the big robot Endeavour delivered to ISS, but that was quickly handled. Dextre will be an important asset in completing the construction of the station and in maintaining it using a minimum number of human spacewalks.
