Shuttle Launching Delayed Until Monday
The shuttle was supposed to take off at 7:14 p.m. But, as the launch time approached, lightning and showers encroached within 20 miles the Kennedy Space Center, too close if the Endeavour needed to make an emergency landing. NASA will try again at 6:51 p.m Monday.
The delay is only the latest in a series of them. Last month,two launch attempts were called off because of a hydrogen leak. Engineers fixed that problem, then lightning struck the launching pad Friday, postponing a Saturday attempt as the shuttle’s electricalsystems were checked. On Sunday, no technical problems arose during the countdown, but then the clouds moved in.
