Flying upside down and backward over the southern Indian Ocean, commander Christopher Ferguson and pilot Eric Boe fired the shuttle Endeavour's twin braking rockets today a few seconds before 3:20 p.m. to begin an hour-long descent to California's Edwards Air Force Base.
The two-minute 54-second rocket firing sets up a touchdown on runway 4 at the Mojave Desert test center at around 4:25 p.m. to close out a successful 16-day space station assembly mission. This status report will be updated after Endeavour lands or as conditions warrant.
