STS-126: Endeavour after undocking (NASA) The space shuttle Endeavour undocked from the International Space Station Friday morning as its two-week mission winds down. Endeavour undocked from the ISS at 9:47 am EST (1447 GMT) and performed a flyaround of the station before departing. Endeavour's crew will perform some standard inspections of its thermal protection system as part of preparations for a landing at the Kennedy Space Center on Sunday at 1:19 pm EST (1819 GMT). Endeavour was docked at the ISS for nearly two weeks to help upgrade the station's systems to allow it to support six-person crews starting next year. The STS-126 crew also performed four spacewalks outside the station to rehabilitate a joint that rotates the station's starboard solar panels to track the Sun.
