CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. -- Space shuttle Endeavour is scheduled to return
to Earth for the final time on Wednesday, June 1, completing a 16-day
mission to outfit the International Space Station. If Endeavour lands
Wednesday, it will have spent 299 days in space and traveled more
than 122.8 million miles during its 25 flights. It launched on its
first mission on May 7, 1992.

Wednesday's landing opportunities at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in
Florida are at 2:35 a.m. and 4:11 a.m. EDT. Endeavour's entry flight
control team led by Tony Ceccacci will evaluate weather conditions at
Kennedy before permitting Endeavour to land. If the shuttle is unable
to return Wednesday, additional opportunities are available on
Thursday at Kennedy and at backup landing site Edwards Air Force Base
in California. For recorded updates about landing, call 321-867-2525.

Approximately two hours after Endeavour lands, NASA officials will
hold a briefing to discuss the mission. The participants will be:
- Bill Gerstenmaier, associate administrator for Space Operations
- Mike Moses, space shuttle launch integration manager
- Mike Leinbach, space shuttle launch director

After touchdown, the astronauts will undergo routine physical
examinations and meet with their families. The crew is expected to
participate in a post-landing news conference about six hours after
landing. Availability is subject to change due to real time
circumstances. The news events will be broadcast live on NASA
Television and the agency's website.

The Kennedy Press Site will be open for shuttle Atlantis' rollout to
Launch Pad 39A scheduled for 8 p.m. Tuesday and will remain open
until 4:30 p.m. Wednesday.

News media representatives who have been approved for STS-134 mission
badges but have not picked them up yet may do so at NASA's Pass and
Identification Building on State Road 3 on May 31 from 4 - 6 p.m. and
10:30 p.m. to 12:30 a.m. on June 1. The last bus will depart from the
news center for the Shuttle Landing Facility one hour before landing.

If the shuttle landing is diverted to Edwards after Wednesday,
reporters should call the public affairs office at NASA's Dryden
Flight Research Center at 661-276-3449. Dryden has limited facilities
available for previously accredited journalists.

RENTON, Wash., May 31, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- While increasing airplane production, The Boeing Company (NYSE: BA) generated year-over-year improvements in environmental performance, the company reported today in its annual Environment Report.

At manufacturing and office locations in 2010, Boeing consumed less energy, reduced carbon dioxide emissions and water intake, and generated less hazardous waste compared to the previous year.

"Boeing has taken up the challenge to make our products, services and operations ever more environmentally progressive," said Mary Armstrong, vice president of Environment, Health and Safety. "As we accelerate these environmental improvements, we continue to pursue new game-changing possibilities."

Highlights of the report include:

• Boeing facilities reduced carbon dioxide emissions by 28 percent, energy use by 30 percent, hazardous-waste generation by 44 percent and water intake by 41 percent since 2002, measured on a revenue-adjusted basis. On an absolute basis, not adjusted for revenue, all four areas of environmental performance improved in 2010 compared to 2009.
• Boeing's two newest airplanes – the 787 Dreamliner and the 747-8, both scheduled to enter commercial service later this year – will be more fuel-efficient with a much smaller carbon and noise footprint than the airplanes they replace.
• Boeing's environmental thinking is showcased at its new South Carolina site, which will be powered completely by renewable energy, including solar panels that will cover the roof of the 787 assembly building. The site is one of four Boeing facilities that will send zero non-hazardous solid waste to landfills.
• Boeing's leadership role in bringing together agricultural, industry and research interests around the globe to create the infrastructure needed to develop a sustainable aviation biofuels industry. Made from renewable resources that do not compete with food crops for land or water, sustainable biofuels reduce lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions.
• Boeing's commitment to invest more than 75 percent of its Commercial Airplanes research and development efforts on improving the environmental performance of jetliners.
