     BEIJING, May 16 (Xinhuanet) -- NASA has readied the space shuttle Endeavour for its liftoff set for Monday, media reported Monday.


    Good weather looks 70 percent likely for Monday's scheduled launch of Endeavour, the next-to-last U.S. space shuttle mission as NASA develops a new generation of craft for longer voyages(旅行).
    "The updated forecast Sunday for Monday's launch of the shuttle Endeavour remains 1 unchanged with a 70 percent chance of good weather," said NASA spokesman Allard Beutel.
    Liftoff is set for 8:56 a.m. EDT (1256 GMT) from the Kennedy Space Center for the trip to the International Space Station after the U.S. space agency repaired a technical glitch 2 that canceled last month's launch attempt.
    The initial April 29 launch attempt was scrubbed hours before liftoff when technicians discovered a power failure in a heating line that served to prevent fuel from freezing in orbit.
    The six-member crew of astronauts including five Americans and one Italian, Roberto Vittori, will deliver a potent 3 physics experiment to probe the origins of the universe during the mission, which will include four spacewalks.
    The 16-day mission is intended to help get the space station ready for operations after the shuttle fleet is retired 4. The 135th and final shuttle launch is scheduled for early- to mid-July aboard Atlantis.(本文由在线英语听力室整理编辑)
