STS-126 Waiting

NASA is watching the Florida skies, hoping to launch Endeavour on STS-126 Friday evening. There is a chance of rain at KSC or in the area, which could scrub the launch if Endeavour could not fly back to KSC in case of emergency immediately after launch. From the technical side, everything is proceeding smoothly.

The main objective of the mission will be to increase the capacity of the ISS to support people, so the crew size can be increased from the current three to six.
