Mark Kelly commands a crew of six which includes Pilot Greg H. Johnson, Mission Specialists Michael Fincke, Greg Chamitoff, Andrew Feustel and European Space Agency astronaut Roberto Vittori.

 

Endeavour will deliver the Express Logistics Carrier-3, Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer-2 (AMS), a high-pressure gas tank and additional spare parts for the Dextre robotic helper on the 36th shuttle mission to the International Space Station.

I had hoped to go to the final Shuttle launch.

News just broke, today's launch has been scrubbed. An APU heater malfunction was cited. Turn around could be as soon as tomorrow or Sunday or the vehicle could require return to shed causing a delay of weeks.

 

EDIT: Turn around time has been reset to 72 hrs minimum to 2 pm Monday at earliest. Additionally, Gabby Gifford's pass from the hospital was for only 48 hours so she'll need an extension to witness launch.
