Endeavour: Retirement Update... Last Monday, the left Orbital Maneuvering System (OMS) pod for Endeavour was prepared for re-installation onto the vehicle inside Orbiter Processing Facility-2 at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The pod's final attachment to Endeavour took place yesterday. Once the starboard OMS pod is reattached to the winged spaceship, the last major items to be installed onto Endeavour next should be her three Replica Shuttle Main Engines and the twin OMS nozzles. However, just like her sister ship Discovery—who will have her two OMS thrusters re-attached after she arrives at the Udvar-Hazy Center (Discovery's final home) in Virginia next month—Endeavour probably won't have her OMS engines back till after she arrives at her final port of call, the California Science Center in downtown Los Angeles, in mid-September.
