S pace Shuttle Endeavour remains in good health in its fifth day of docked operations with the International Space Station. S pace Shuttle Endeavour remains in good health as mission managers today added an extra day to the mission. The extension affords the crew and flight controllers additional time to bring the Space Station's backup command and control computers on line. A further mission extension is possible if additional troubleshooting time is needed. Calif. EAFB is available to support landing tomorrow if needed.
