NASA managers said that the Endeavour is ready for the next week launch from the International Space Station. Endeavour will leave for its last mission on Friday, April 29, at 3:47 p.m. EDT.

NASA's associate administrator for Space Operations, Bill Gerstenmaier said, “We have had a very extensive and thorough review. I think the things that impressed me the most is that the team is still continuing to really work issues and look at the vehicle performance on each and every flight just like they would during any normal mission.” Gerstenmaier added, “We're ready to go fly.”

The space shuttle built and developed in 1991 was the final space shuttle built by NASA. The Endeavour was build to replace the Challenger which was destroyed in 1986 shortly after its launch.

California Science Center
California Science Center is located just south of Los Angeles and it has some of the most exciting and extraordinary flying machines like Lockheed Corp.’s A-12, supersonic F-104 Starfighter interceptor aircraft and SR-71 Blackbird spy plane.

The name of this high tech particle detector is Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS), and the Endeavour space shuttle will take it all the way into the space, on its final mission.

Space science always tries to unveil the mysteries of the universe, and NASA is surely a forerunner in this mission.

Antimatter is an eluding object even for the scientists. CERN is trying to create antimatter on earth in the LHC, and NASA is planning to capture the antimatter at space, with the help of AMS.

What is AMS?
