Shuttle Landing Groundtracks

5:23 PM Thu, Jul 30, 2009 |

The Space Shuttle Endeavour is scheduled for a 9:48 am CDT landing in Florida on Friday morning. As with most shuttle trips to the International Space Station, we will not be able to see the shuttle as it deorbits into the Earth's atmosphere. There will be up to two attempts to land on Friday. The first attempt will be on orbit 248. That will bring the shuttle over Central America and Cuba.

There's also a landing opportunity on orbit 249. But, again, it would be too far south for those of us in Texas to see.
