Anybody got details of the Endeavour Planned Route?

Recommended Posts

They were suppossed to launch today but due to bad WX in Houston, that got pushed back till tomorrow at sunrise. They did say they put a day of wiggle room in their flight plan, so it should still get to Cali on time, but that they may have to take out some of the flybys enroute.

I don't see what or where they were going to do or what they changed to though.

I drug my family out to see Atlantis in May 2009, STS-125 over Edwards...

Some guys say we may see Endeavour fly by from here. I don't know if it's worth taking the day to watch for her. Now, if they were LANDING in Fresno;)


Once the plane takes off, you're gonna have to land - Might as well jump out!!

It just did a perfect fly-by of my apartment in Oakland. Could not have asked for a better view and I didn't even have to leave home! Thanks, NASA!

I'm in Fresno and I'm wondering whether the planned flight path on Thursday brings it over Fresno. Or will I have to skip work and go see it someplace else?

Help me here. I can't find much of anything.



I rode my bicycle over to NASA Ames / Moffet Field and watched it. Got a better view than all the people packed shoulder to shoulder in an official viewing area who were expecting a pass over runway 14R or 14L - the 747 with shuttle flew behind them.

Well, from what I can gather from Facebook...

1. The damn thing buzzed everyone I knew within a 40 mile radius, allowing for great photo opportunities...

2. Yet managed to somehow go nowhere near me and my camera. The nerve!:P
