LIVE IMAGES: The images above are from live video feeds in the Launch Complex 39 area at Kennedy Space Center, where shuttle Endeavour is being readied for a critical fuel-loading test. They will automatically refresh to the most up-to-the-minute image every 30 seconds.
NASA is going ahead with a planned launch of shuttle Endeavour on July 11 after a fueling test today showed no signs of a leak that halted countdowns last month.
Since no leaks of hydrogen gas were reported during the roughly three-hour operation early this morning, NASA plans to launch Endeavour and its astronaut crew on July 11 for a 16-day International Space Station assembly mission.
Gas leaks scrubbed launch attempts on June 13 and June 17, but repairs since then apparently worked during today's test.
The scheduled liftoff time is 7:39 p.m. July 11.
