CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. -- The STS-134 crew answers media questions in the Press Site TV auditorium at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. From left, are Commander Mark Kelly, Pilot Greg H. Johnson, and Mission Specialists Michael Fincke, European Space Agency astronaut Roberto Vittori, Andrew Feustel, and Greg Chamitoff. The crew was scheduled to answer questions at Launch Pad 39A, where space shuttle Endeavour is awaiting liftoff, but severe storms associated with a frontal system passing over Central Florida brought the media event indoors. Endeavour's six crew members are at Kennedy for the launch countdown dress rehearsal called the Terminal Countdown Demonstration Test (TCDT) and related training. Targeted to launch April 19 at 7:48 p.m. EDT, they will deliver the Express Logistics Carrier-3, Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer-2 (AMS), a high-pressure gas tank, additional spare parts for the Dextre robotic helper and micrometeoroid debris shields to the International Space Station. This will be the final spaceflight for Endeavour. For more information visit, www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/shuttle/shuttlemissions/sts134/index.html. Photo credit: NASA/Kim Shiflett KSC-2011-2587

VANDENBERG AIR FORCE BASE, Calif. – From left, Ken Jucks, Orbiting Carbon Observatory-2, or OCO-2, project executive at NASA Headquarters David Crisp, OCO-2 science team leader at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, or JPL and Annmarie Eldering, OCO-2 deputy project scientist at JPL, participate in a mission science briefing at Vandenberg Air Force Base in California prior to the launch of the observatory. Launch aboard a United Launch Alliance Delta II rocket from Space Launch Complex 2 is scheduled for 5:56 a.m. EDT on July 1. OCO-2 is NASA’s first mission dedicated to studying atmospheric carbon dioxide, the leading human-produced greenhouse gas driving changes in Earth’s climate. OCO-2 will provide a new tool for understanding the human and natural sources of carbon dioxide emissions and the natural "sinks" that absorb carbon dioxide and help control its buildup. The observatory will measure the global geographic distribution of these sources and sinks and study their changes over time. To learn more about OCO-2, visit http://www.nasa.gov/oco2.
