Shuttle Endeavour back to earth

Astronauts on the space shuttle Endeavour bid their final farewell on Sunday, floating out of the International Space Station before producing their journey property.

Shuttle commander Mark Kelly thanked the ISS crew for their help after they effectively installed the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer, which Kelly named "a outstanding issue for physics and for science." Endeavour delivered the two billion US dollar cosmic ray detector which will stay on the space station for the following decade. The shuttle will undock from the ISS later on Sunday evening and start its two-day journey property.

It is expected to return to Florida inside the pre-dawn hours of Wednesday, in no way to fly in space once more. The shuttle is going to be retired to a museum in California following the 16-day mission, its 25th.
