Launch of Kibo's final assembly mission rescheduled for 8:39 a.m. on July 12

The delayed launch of the Space Shuttle "Endeavour" was rescheduled to 8:39 a.m. on July 12 (Sun.), 2009 (JST, or 7:39 p.m. on the 11th DST.)
The mission is to ship the Exposed Facility and Experiment Logistic Module Exposed Section of the Japanese Experiment Module "Kibo" to the ISS. The new launch schedule was set after a hydrogen gas leakage, the cause of the launch delay, was confirmed to be repaired.
With this 2J/A (STS-127) mission, construction of the Kibo will be completed, and Astronaut Koichi Wakata, whose stay at the ISS has reached over 100 days, will come home to earth on the Endeavour.
