STS123: Space Shuttle Launch - 17:28 AEDST

Wow, this snuck up on me. I didn't know there was another launch so soon.

STS123 Endeavor will be launching this afternoon AEDST.

Full info: http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/sh...ain/index.html
NASA TV Schedule: http://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/nasat..._schedule.html
Watch it live on NASA TV: http://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/nasatv/index.html

This will tie in nicely for our ISS overhead passes in a couple of days - the shuttle will be docked so it will be even brighter!

Good stuff,

Looks like it is going to be night-time launch, wouldn't ya love to be there for that. Try and get some of those awesome images Mike. Your last one was a beauty, imagine one with the shuttle attached.

We've got 2 overhead passes - one on the night of the 15th and one on the 17th. Unfortunately I think i'll be busy on the 17th, so Saturday the 15th is my only shot.
