Space Shuttle Endeavour is about to make its final trip from Launch Complex 39A for mission STS-134 at Kennedy Space Center. With only two Space Shuttle launches left, I wanted to share my favorite photo of Space Shuttle Endeavour, with the Crawler Transporter in foreground, which I shot when I worked at CCAFS.

The photo above is of Endeavour sitting in wait on Launch Complex 39B for the STS-400 mission which never launched. STS-400 was the Space Shuttle contingency support (Launch On Need) flight, which would have been launched if a major problem had occurred on Space Shuttle Atlantis during STS-125.
Currently, Endeavour is set for lift off in mid April. See my Space Shuttle Launch Schedule for more information about the mission and times and dates of more launches.
So far, Space Shuttle Endeavour has been on 24 missions with 148 crew members, spent over 280 days in space, orbited the earth 4,429 times and traveled 103,149,636 miles. I wish Godspeed and a safe flight to Endeavour and her STS-134 crew.
