The storm had the potential to disrupt operations at the Johnson Space Center in Houston by around Wednesday.<\/p>\n However, early projections on Sunday show the Hurricane is now expected to miss Texas completely, although such weather patterns can change course within a matter of hours.<\/p>\n Undocking occurred during a KU band blackout, meaning live coverage was sent in the form of still photos via the S-Band antenna. Video, filmed by Anderson, was set to be replayed, moments later, although the charismatic astronaut had problems getting his camera to replay the video. <\/p>\n Describing things as \u2018chaotic,\u2019 Anderson complained, comparing it with the rush to complete final transfers, saying he was covered in wires trying to get his camera to work, joking: \u2018Sometimes they like to tie me up to the wall and keep me out of the way.\u2019<\/p>\n Endeavour\u2019s crew are now carrying out Late Inspections, utilizing the OBSS (Orbiter Boom Sensor System), grappled to the orbiter\u2019s robotic arm. The inspections will mirror those of Flight Day 2, scanning the RCC panels and key leading edge TPS (Thermal Protection System).<\/p>\n Monday will be the final required operations ahead of re-entry, with the checkout of the Flight Control Systems (FCS), and the hotfire of the Reaction Control Systems (RCS) on the orbiter. <\/p>\n The first landing attempt of Endeavour at the Kennedy Space Center will call for a deorbit burn of 3 minutes 33 seconds, at 11:25am Eastern, using both OMS engines, for a reduction in velocity of 361 feet per second. Dropping out of orbit, Endeavour will hit entry interface 35 minutes later, at mach 25. <\/p>\n This first attempt would see Endeavour make a North West to South East approach, touching down at 12:32pm Eastern, on Runway 15 of the Kennedy Space Center. <\/p>\n A second attempt to land at KSC would provide Endeavour with a stunning pass over the top of Hurricane Dean, with a westerly ground track towards Florida, 180,000 ft over the eye of the Hurricane. Endeavour would be too high to be affected by the storm.<\/p>\n L2 members<\/font>: All documentation \u2013 from which the above article has quoted snippets \u2013 is available in full in the related L2 sections, updated live.<\/em><\/p>\n **STARLIGHT: NEW STS-117 MISSION REVIEW MUSIC VIDEO**<\/font><\/em><\/font> <\/em><\/font><\/p>\n **ROCK YOU LIKE A HURRICANE: BRAND NEW STS-117 MISSION REVIEW MUSIC VIDEO \u2013 AS SEEN BY THE STS-117 CREW!!**<\/font> -. **NASASpaceflight.com Job Opportunities**<\/em><\/font><\/em> <\/font><\/em><\/p>\n <\/font><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Endeavour has successfully undocked from the International Space Station (ISS) after a busy final day of STS-118\u2019s docked element of the mission.
