NASA’s newest space shuttle, Endeavour, launched this morning to embark on it’s final mission. The space craft will be decommissioned after it’s 16 day mission to the International Space Station.
The Endeavour was built in 1992 and will have logged over 100 million miles during it’s 25 missions. The vessel has spent more than 294 days in space during it’s historic career. This leaves only the space shuttle Atlantis in NASA’s fleet and it is scheduled for it’s final mission in June of this year.
