Weather Still a Potential Problem for Atlantis Launch
Everything is “go” for the launch of Atlantis — the final space shuttle mission — on Friday, except possibly the weather.
According to NASA’s shuttle website, shuttle weather officer Kathy Winters provided the following update today.
“Winters predicted an 80 percent chance of weather preventing tanking operations, with a 70 percent chance of it standing in the way of launch at 11:26 a.m. EDT on Friday. The forecast for the following days improves to 60 percent no-go on Saturday and 40 percent on Sunday.”
