Space shuttle Endeavour, mounted atop NASA’s modified 747 Shuttle Carrier Aircraft, will make the final ferry flight of the space shuttle era when it takes off on Sept. 17 from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida headed for Los Angeles International Airport (LAX). Along its three-day journey, weather permitting, Endeavour will fly over eight NASA centers and spend nights near the Houston home of Mission Control and the shuttle’s West Coast landing site. Endeavour’s L.A. landing precedes its delivery to the California Science Center for display.
