SPACE SHUTTLE ENDEAVOUR CLOSES IN ON SPACE STATION (AP)



This image provided by NASA shows the STS-127 external fuel tank falling to earth as it begins its relative separation from the Space Shuttle Endeavour following launch Wednesday July 15, 2009. Shuttle program manager John Shannon said the thin layer of foam insulation on the central area of the tank peeled away in approximately 6-inch strips as Endeavour blasted toward orbit Wednesday. Three of these strips can be clearly seen in this photo to left of the lower pipe. (AP Photo/NASA)AP - Space shuttle Endeavour is closing in on the international space station following a two-day chase.
