The space shuttle Endeavour crew aims to land the shuttle this morning to end their space trip and mark an end to the STS-127 mission which was very successful over the last couple of weeks.The shuttle is scheduled to touch down at 10:48AM EST at the Kennedy Space Center where weather is looking good but Mission Control was closely watching some thunderstorms offshore that could pose a risk if they move into the immediate vicinity. Luckily, the shuttle has two opportunities today if the 10:48AM EST touchdown is a 'no go'. The other opportunity for landing will begin at 11:16AM for the de-orbit burn with a landing at 12:22PM EST. If weather conditions do not improve for this second attempt, they crew must wait until Saturday for another window of opportunity.
