Mission managers loaded the crew into the space shuttle Endeavour early Monday for a second attempt in as many days at getting into orbit. "No technical issues are being reported, and the forecast is still cooperating, with only a 40 percent chance that weather will hamper an on-time liftoff at 4:14 a.m. EST," NASA's Web site said. Low cloud ceilings forced the space agency to scrub Sunday's early morning launch from pad 39A on its journey to the international space station. When Endeavour does launch, its six crew members will deliver a key module to the station, CNN reported. Cmdr. George Zamka is scheduled to lead the STS-130 mission. Joining him aboard will be pilot Terry Virts, and mission specialists Nicholas Patrick, Robert Behnken, Stephen Robinson and Kathryn Hire, NASA said. The crew is to deliver a third connecting module, an Italian-built Tranquility node and a seven-windowed cupola to be used as a control room for robotics. It's scheduled to be a busy week for NASA, with the agency also preparing to launch a Solar Dynamics Observatory into orbit aboard an Atlas V rocket. There are only five more shuttle launches scheduled before the program ends in 2011.
