The Shuttle will remain on orbit at least one additional day as managers proceed with efforts to attempt a landing at KSC tomorrow. The backup landing facility at Edwards Air Force Base, Calif., was not called up today and will not be called up on Friday. Endeavour can safely remain in orbit through Sunday. Forecasters currently predict improved weather conditions for tomorrow's landing attempts at KSC. Two opportunities exist for a KSC landing on Friday. The first is at 1:57 p.m. EST with deorbit burn occurring at 12:51 p.m. The second landing opportunity for Friday is at 3:33 p.m. EST. -- end -- ------------------------------------------------------------- For automatic email subscriptions to this KSC originated press releases, send an Internet electronic mail message to mailto:ksc-news_release-subscribe@kscnews.ksc.nasa.gov.
