Shuttle undocks from ISS
Posted: Sat, Feb 20, 2010, 10:01 AM ET (1501 GMT)
The space shuttle Endeavour undocked from the International Space Station Friday night as it prepares to return to Earth late Sunday, weather permitting. Endeavour undocked from the station at 7:54 pm EST Friday (0054 GMT Saturday), nearly 10 days after arriving at the station. During Endeavour's stay astronauts installed the new Tranquility module and configured it, including opening its cupola with large Earth-facing windows. Endeavour is scheduled to land at the Kennedy Space Center Sunday at 10:16 pm EST (0316 GMT Monday), although weather is a concern both there and at Edwards Air Force Base in California.
