Mounted to the top of a modified Boeing 747 jumbo jet, space shuttle Endeavour is poised to depart Florida for the final time Wednesday, after a two day weather delay. On Sunday morning, NASA rolled Endeavour, on top the Shuttle Carrier Aircraft, out onto the tarmac at the Kennedy Space Center Shuttle Landing Facility, the same runway where Endeavour made its 25th and final return from space in June 2011. The roll back from the Mate-Demate Device (MDD), which for the last time was used to pair the air- and spacecraft, offered a chance to photograph the duo before their flight begins.
