KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, Fla. -- The sun shoots an arrow of light across Space Shuttle Endeavour as it crawls to Launch Pad 39A atop a Mobile Launcher Platform via a crawler-transporter. The combined height of the Shuttle, MLP and transporter is 235.2 ft. (71.6 m). Once at the pad, routine launch pad validations will commence, verifying all vehicle and facility interfaces. Endeavour is expected to lift off on mission STS-100 on April 19, carrying the Multi-Purpose Logistics Module Raffaello and the Canadian robotic arm, SSRMS, to the International Space Station
