Space shuttle Endeavour landed safely Sunday afternoon at California's Edwards Air Force Base after NASA waved off two opportunities for a Florida landing because of poor weather.

The Space shuttle Discovery launched from the Kennedy Space Center Monday morning at 6:21 am to deliver spare parts to the International Space Station. The space shuttle Discovery took off with seven astronauts aboard. Three more launches are planned between now and September, and then the space shuttle fleet will be retired. See the video of the launch below.

Space shuttle Endeavour and its seven-member crew are enroute to Kennedy Space Center in Florida. They'll be landing on Runway 15 at the Shuttle Landing Facility at 10:48 p.m. EDT.

Today NASA Shuttle Launch video is available. This is one of the last NASA space shuttle Discovery launches before the fleet is retired. There are 7 austronauts aboard the NASA space shuttle.

Nasa has delayed the launch of its Discovery shuttle mission to complete the electricity generation system on the International Space Station (ISS).A fuel leak meant Wednesday's launch would be delayed until Sunday at the earliest, the US space agency said.

The orbiter is due to deliver the fourth and final set of solar array wings to the platform and the last segment of its truss, or backbone.

It was a launch that was marred by weather delays and other issues that had sprouted a hint of skepticism among the public in regards to the launch of NASA’s space shuttle Atlantis.

Astronauts aboard Endeavour began inspecting the shuttle 's heat shield for possible damage after Wednesday's launch. Officials spotted some debris falling off during liftoff.

The space shuttle Atlantis and its crew of seven returned to Earth today, ending their successful Hubble space telescope repair mission in California after stormy weather prevented a return to Nasa's home base in Florida.

After 16 days in space, 225 miles up, where American and Japanese astronauts worked side by side at the International Space Station, the space shuttle Endeavor has finally landed safely at Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
