CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. -- News conferences, events and operating hours 
for the news center at NASA's Kennedy Space Center, Fla., are set for 
the final scheduled launch of space shuttle Endeavour. Lift off is 
targeted for 3:47 p.m. EDT on Friday, April 29, to begin the STS-134

Endeavour's crew members are Commander Mark Kelly, Pilot Greg H.
