Start heute gecancelt wegen eines alten Problems mit der "Tankanzeige":


SCRUB! Today's launch of the space shuttle Atlantis has been postponed due to the external tank sensor problem that was uncovered during fueling this morning. The decision was made a few moments ago.

NASA officials are assessing their options for a future launch attempt of Atlantis to deliver the European Space Agency's Columbus science laboratory module to the space station. The current plan calls for another try tomorrow, after further troubleshooting on the fuel sensor system. Tomorrow's launch time would be 4:09 p.m. EST.
