Lightning delays NASA space shuttle launch

From:   www.afp.com
Lightning forced NASA to delay the space shuttle Endeavour's planned launch on Saturday by at least a day, the latest blow to the seven-astronaut mission. NASA announced the delay with just nine hours to go before liftoff, citing 11 lightning strikes near the Cape Canaveral launch site during a powerful electrical storm Friday evening. "The launch is scrubbed for at least 24 hours," NASA spokesman George Diller said. "This delay will give technical teams additional time to evaluate lightning strikes at Launch Pad 39A that occurred during Friday's thunderstorm. There was "no damage found on the shuttle or on the pad systems," Diller said, ... Read Full Story

NASA to try to launch space shuttle Endeavour

From:   www.afp.com
The US space agency will make another attempt on Sunday to launch the space shuttle Endeavour after a dramatic lightning storm forced it to postpone the flight in the latest blow to the seven-astronaut mission. With just nine hours to go before lift off, NASA said the launch would be scrapped, citing 11 lightning strikes near the Cape Canaveral launch site during a powerful electrical storm late Friday. "We decided we are going to take 24 more hours to continue to review our data," said Mike Moses, the head of the mission. Moses later announced that the launch was rescheduled for 7:13 pm (2313 ...

Space shuttle Endeavour arrives at space station

From:   www.ap.org
The space shuttle and space station hooked up Friday after a round-the-world chase, making for the biggest crowd ever gathered together in orbit — 13 Earthlings. Endeavour docked at the international space station as the two craft soared 220 miles above the Australian coast. Once the hatches popped open, the seven shuttle astronauts floated into the space station, one by one, and embraced their six station colleagues. It was a bit of a mob scene, a floating jumble of dark shirts, beige pants and shorts, and white socks. "Welcome," said the station's skipper, Russian Gennady Padalka, positioned at the entrance. "Thirteen is a pretty ... Read Full Story

NASA to make sixth attempt for space shuttle launch

From:   www.afp.com
NASA is poised to try to get the Endeavour space shuttle off the ground and into orbit on Wednesday, after bad weather and technical trouble blighted five previous launch attempts. Fueling of Endeavour's massive external fuel tank, which began at 8:38 am (1238 GMT), showed no early signs of problems, but experts noted that the same rainy weather systems that hampered prior attempts continue to linger in the area. "The weather is looking better but I am being a little bit optimistic -- it's about the same as we had over the last couple of days," said launch integration manager Mike Moses. The shuttle ...
