WASHINGTON, Feb. 18 (Xinhua) -- The U.S. space shuttle Endeavor arrived at its launch pad Monday at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, awaiting for the upcoming flight in March.

    Full launch dress rehearsal, known as the terminal countdown demonstration test, is scheduled to take place at Kennedy from Feb.23 to 25, NASA reported on Monday.

    The shuttle Endeavor arrived at the pad at approximately 4:45 a.m. EST (0945 GMT) Monday on top of a giant vehicle called the crawler-transporter. Endeavor was secured and firmly on the launch pad early Monday morning.

    Endeavor is targeted to launch March 11 on a 16-day mission to the International Space Station. The shuttle's seven crew members will deliver the first section of the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency's Kibo laboratory and the Canadian Space Agency's two-armed robotic system, Dextre. Five spacewalks will be conducted during the flight.

    Astronaut Dominic Gorie will command Endeavor's STS-123 mission. Gregory Johnson will be the pilot. Robert L. Behnken, Mike Foreman, Rick Linnehan, Garrett Reisman and Japanese astronaut Takao Doi make up the rest of the crew.

    Reisman will remain on the station as a resident crew member, replacing station Flight Engineer Leopold Eyharts of the European Space Agency, who will return home on Endeavor. Eyharts launched to the station aboard shuttle Atlantis on Feb. 7.

    Also early Monday, shuttle Atlantis successfully undocked from the ISS, beginning its journey home after delivering the European-built Columbus laboratory to the orbital outpost.
