Weather Causes Delay In Space Shuttle Discovery Launch

Cape Canveral, FL (AHN) – Poor weather conditions in Florida caused NASA officials to delay the launch of the space shuttle Discovery scheduled for Tuesday morning.

NASA says it will try again Wednesday, at 1:10 a.m. EDT, to launch Discovery on a mission to the International Space Center.

The STS-128 mission will carry various equipment to the ISC, including a treadmill named after comedian Stephen Colbert.

Astronaut Rick “C.J.” Sturckow is the commander for this mission that will end with astronaut Nicole Stott moving into the station to take the place of Tim Kopra, who moved into the station during STS-127 mission, NASA officials said in a statement.
