The ferry flight to take space shuttle Endeavour from NASA's Dryden Flight Research Center in California to NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida has been delayed until at least Tuesday as NASA's Shuttle Program managers carefully evaluate weather conditions in the Southwest United State and on the route to Florida. Another weather briefing is scheduled for 2 p.m. Monday to assess the forecast. Endeavour landed at Edwards Air Force Base on Nov. 30 to end STS-126. Technicians have been servicing the spacecraft at Dryden for its flight to Florida. A modified 747 known as a Shuttle Carrier Aircraft will carry Endeavour on its back during the ferry flight.
