Shuttle Endeavour is back in space for what is scheduled to be her final mission. A nominal countdown, which included an issue-free tanking, resulted in an on time launch at 8:58am Eastern. The countdown also provided a full test of the mitigation effort on the Auxiliary Power Unit (APU-1) Heater system issue which caused the April 29 scrub, with no issues reported.
