Discovery Space Live Tweeting Today's Shuttle Launch

July 15, 2009

UPDATE: Success! Space Shuttle Endeavour is now in orbit and on her way to the space station, due to arrive on Friday. Take a look at this superb view of the launch, by @flyingjenny.

For the whole of today, @Discovery_Space will be live tweeting the launch of space shuttle Endeavour. I will be hovering over as many news feeds as humanly possible, plus watching every video stream to bring you live updates on this 6th attempt to get Endeavour into space. Remember, we're not going to see many more shuttle launches, so switch on NASA TV and watch STS-127 begin its journey to the International Space Station (assuming the fickle Florida weather permits).

For non-Twitterers, keep this page bookmarked, it will be set up to post constant news updates from @Discovery_Space.

See you at the launch!
