Endeavour was launched on Mar 3 into a 346 x 358 km x 28.5 deg orbit to begin the Astro-2 mission. Bad weather at KSC delayed deorbit by one day; in the end Edwards was selected. Mass at deorbit was 104668 kg. Endeavour touched down at Edwards on Mar 18 after a record-breaking flight of 16 days, 15 hours, 8 minutes and 47 seconds.
