Space shuttle Endeavour is airborne again on Wednesday, 10th December 2008, this time for its return to the Florida spaceport it launched from 14th November. Bolted tight atop a modified 747, Endeavour lifted off a runway at Edwards Air Force Base in California at 7 a.m. PST (10 a.m. EST), just after the sun rose over the west coast.

The 747, called a Shuttle Carrier Aircraft, and Endeavour are expected at NASAs Kennedy Space Center as early as Thursday afternoon, but Friday also is a possibility. The exact timing and route depend on weather conditions along the way. The shuttle/aircraft combo is enroute to Biggs Army Air Field in El Paso, Texas.

Endeavour landed at Biggs Army Air Field in El Paso, Texas, for refueling at 12:15 pm EST.
