The US space shuttle Endeavour

The US space shuttle Endeavour had a successful launch on its first mission for almost five years - ending a long wait for one woman.
Barbara Morgan, who was a standby for the Challenger shuttle when it exploded shortly after lift-off, finally made it into space, 21 years after that tragic day.
The 55-year-old was part of the Teachers in Space programme alongside Christa McAuliffe, who died alongside six other astronauts in the Challenger disaster.

New Zealand to get a good view of the Shuttle and Space Station
New Zealand will get a good view of the Shuttle Endeavour both before and after rendezvous with the Space Station.
The first opportunity is Friday morning 9 August when the Shuttle and Space Station will be flying close together and will pass to the NorthEast of New Zealand. They will be visible low in the North for most of the North Island and also the Northern South Island. The Space Station will appear from about 5:33 a.m New Zealand time with the Shuttle following about 3 minutes later. Expect to see two bright lights moving quite rapidly fairly low in the sky heading from the NorthEast towards the East.
