UPDATED: NASA Waives Off First Shuttle Landing Opportunity
The first landing attempt for space shuttle Discovery has been waived off due to weather. A second opportunity to land at 8:40 EDT also seems iffy, but has not been ruled out.
UPDATED: The second landing opportunity for today also has been waived off. There are two opportunities to land tomorrow at KSC at 5:48 pm EDT and 7:23 pm EDT. NASA is still evaluating whether it needs to call up Edwards Air Force Base as a backup landing site. The weather for KSC is not promising.
RE-UPDATED: NASA has indeed called up Edwards. The landing opportunities there are at 8:53 pm EDT (5:53 pm PDT) and 10:28 pm EDT (7:28 PDT).
