Washington : The astronauts aboard space shuttle Endeavour ready their return to Earth after 12-day stay at the International Space Station where they set a record of five space walks.
The crew will undock at 23:56 GMT to land Wednesday night at Kennedy Space Station in Cape Canaveral, Florida.
Mission STS-123 of NASA installed the first piece of Module Kibo, the largest Japanese grant to the outer space platform and completed the Canadian space robot Dextre that will assume many of today’s risky space walks.
Astronaut Richard Linnehan said “it will operate as muscle, not brains, to move may stuff from one side to another.”
ISS completion is set for 2010 to replace the current NASA shuttle fleet.
