Technicians from NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida are continuing preparation work on space shuttle Endeavour at NASA's Dryden Flight Research Center in California so the shuttle can begin its cross-country flight Monday. An issue with preparations to install the flight tail cone on Endeavour has delayed plans to start the shuttle's flight Sunday morning. Tail cone installation is set to begin today. Endeavour, parked at Dryden's Mate-Demate Device, will be attached to the top of NASA's Shuttle Carrier Aircraft, a modified 747, for the return to Florida.
