NASA’s issue--The STS-127 astronauts returning back to Florida on 31st July, 2009


-->The above image was taken during the fifth and final spacewalk of the STS-127 mission, which is one of the International Space Station's solar panels intersecting Earth's horizon. Eleven astronauts and cosmonauts remained inside the orbital outpost and the shuttle, to which it was docked, whereas Tom Marshburn and Christopher Cassidy had made their spacewalk on 24th July, 2009.


The Space shuttle Endeavour is scheduled to land at Florida's Kennedy Space Center on Friday, 31st July, with a touchdown at 10:48 a.m. EDT. The shuttle would start its dive from orbit with a deorbit engine firing at 9:42 a.m. Weather conditions at Kennedy are forecast should be favorable for landing, since there is a slight chance of rain is possible.

A second opportunity had existed for a landing in Florida on Friday, starting with a deorbit engine firing at 11:17 a.m., leading to a 12:22 p.m. touchdown.
