Shuttle Launch Still on For Now at Least

Shuttle Launch Still on For Now at Least

Kennedy Space Center, FL — It’s raining heavily here at the moment, but the launch of Atlantis is still on for tomorrow at 11:26 am, at least for now. NASA has rolled back the Rotating Service Structure more or less on schedule while it simultaneously investigates whether there was any damage from a lightning strike earlier today.

NASA media credentialers say that 2-3,000 media people have signed up to be here and NASA is expecting a million members of the public to line local highways and byways to watch. Weather permitting, of course.

Everyone is anxiously awaiting a go-no go decision. It could happen any time today or tomorrow morning. Check back here for updates or follow us on Twitter: @spcplcyonline.
