Space Shuttle Endeavour's Final Flight to Calif. Delayed by Weather

Space shuttle Endeavour's trip to California has been delayed by a weather front in its way.

NASA on Sunday (Sep. 16) postponed Endeavour's final liftoff from Florida, planned for Monday morning, just a few hours after rolling out the shuttle atop its modified Boeing 747 Shuttle Carrier Aircraft (SCA) to be ready for the flight. Endeavour is being flown to Los Angeles, where it is going on display at the California Science Center(CSC).

"To ensure a safe flight for Endeavour and the [Shuttle Carrier Aircraft], NASA managers, in consultation with the California Science Center decided Sunday to delay the flight because of inclement weather predicted along the flight path between Houstonand NASA's Kennedy Space Center, where the flight will originate," NASA explained in a statement announcing the one-day delay.
