The Space Shuttle Endeavour will be flown from California to Florida on a modified Boeing 747 as early as Sunday, NASA announced today.

The shuttle landed at Edwards Air Force Base Nov. 30 after bad weather in Florida forced a diversion to the California back-up location. Now NASA must ferry Endeavour back to the Kennedy Space Center in Florida.

For the flight, the shuttle will be mounted on the back of the 747.

The flight will cost about $1.8 million. The effort is not expected to have an impact on NASA's scheduled shuttle flights during 2009, including a planned May mission to work on the Hubble Space Telescope.

U.S. President-elect Barack Obama's NASA transition team is asking U.S. space agency officials to quantify how much money could be saved by canceling the Ares 1 rocket and scaling back the Orion Crew Exploration Vehicle next year.

Obama pledged during his campaign to inject an additional $2 billion into NASA aimed in part at narrowing the gap between the space shuttle's retirement and the introduction of a successor system. While NASA Administrator Mike Griffin and his senior managers are adamant that Ares and Orion are the right vehicles to fill that role, Obama did not endorse either system by name during his campaign.

Space shuttle Endeavour returned to Earth on Sunday, completing a 16-day "extreme home improvement" mission to upgrade and service the International Space Station (ISS).

The orbiter touched down at 4:25 p.m. EST (2125 GMT) at Edwards Air Force Base in California, after being diverted from NASA's Kennedy Space Center due to concerns over strong crosswinds and thunderstorms in the vicinity of the Florida landing facility.

"Wheels stop, Endeavour!" announced spacecraft communicator Alan Poindexter as the shuttle came to a halt on the runway. "Welcome back, that was a great way to finish a fantastic flight, Fergie."

NASA is hosting Earth and space science working group meetings with officials from the China National Space Administration (CNSA) in Washington, D.C., SPACE.com has learned.

The talks, today and tomorrow, are a follow- up to NASA's most recent meetings with CNSA representatives held June 30 to July 1in Beijing. That meeting brought together CNSA officials and other interested Chinese agencies with a NASA delegation made up of representatives from the space agency's Office of External Relations and the Science Mission Directorate.
