Space shuttle Endeavour is expected to complete its rollaround this evening from Launch Pad 39B at NASA's Kennedy Space Center to Launch Pad 39A on Thursday. The move began at 8:28 a.m. EDT and will leave Endeavour positioned for the last steps in processing before launch. Liftoff is targeted for Nov. 14 at 7:55 p.m. EST.

Endeavour was moved from Launch Pad 39B so workers there could continue modifications to the launch complex for the Ares I-X test flight in 2009.

Seven astronauts will fly Endeavour to the International Space Station during STS-126, carrying about 19,000 pounds of equipment and supplies, in the Multi-purpose Logistics Module Leonardo, that will eventually allow the station to host six residents instead of the current three.
