Tanking operations are under way at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The loading of the space shuttle's external tank with a half-million gallons of liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen began at 8:38 a.m. EDT. The three-hour process will provide the fuel and oxidizer Endeavour's three main engines need for the 8 1/2 minute trip to orbit.
Weather at Kennedy remains at 60-percent chance for favorable weather for an early-evening liftoff at 6:03 p.m. The primary weather concerns for launch are the potential for showers and thunderstorms near the Shuttle Landing Facility.
