Today, teams at Launch Pad 39A are expected to finish closing out space shuttle Endeavour's aft for flight. Technicians also will load flight software into the shuttle's massive memory unit.

Meanwhile, Kennedy Director Bob Cabana will take part in NASA's Day of Remembrance wreath-laying ceremony at the Space Mirror Memorial. Remembrance day pays tribute to members of the NASA family who lost their lives while furthering the cause of exploration and discovery.

At NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston, the STS-130 crew will practice entry integrated procedures in the motion base simulator. Later, they will take part in Remembrance Day events.

The STS-130 preflight briefings held at Johnson begin today at 10 a.m. EST and will be aired on NASA TV and www.nasa.gov/ntv.
