CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. - The shuttle Endeavour crew closed the payload bay doors in preparation for a scheduled landing early on Wednesday, as sister ship Atlantis neared the launch pad for the shuttle program's final flight.
Endeavour was scheduled to wrap up a 16-day servicing call at the International Space Station with a 2:35 a.m. (0635 GMT) touchdown at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
