LAUNCH HAS BEEN SCRUBBED FOR AT LEAST 48 HOURS DUE TO A TECHNICAL GLITCH

It’s a go for a FREE public showing of the U.S. Space Shuttle Endeavour’s last flight into space, at Griffith Observatory on Friday, April 29.

The launch will be televised live and Observatory staff members will be on hand, providing commentary and answering questions. This marks the 25th launch of Endeavour, the last orbiter constructed in the Space Shuttle fleet.

The free watch party will be at the Observatory’s Leonard Nimoy Event Horizon theater, 12:30 to 1:15pm, provided that the launch stays on schedule. Please check www.nasa.gov for updated status reports on the launch.

Parking is free but limited; available only in the south end of the parking lot and along East Observatory Road. Access is via Vermont Avenue, past the Greek Theatre and LEFT before the tunnel.

Get there early for parking so you don’t miss the lift-off!
