Shuttle Landing Delayed

Blame Weather At The Cape

Why cause problems?

That seemed to be the thinking at Kennedy Space Center in Florida and at the Johnson Space Center in Houston, TX, as STS-114 mission managers waived the shuttle off twice from a Monday morning landing and ordered it to remain in space for another day.

Controllers twice scrubbed the planned landing because of low clouds over Cape Canaveral Monday morning. The shuttle will now land Tuesday -- either at KSC or at Edwards AFB or at the White Sands Space Harbor in New Mexico.

"We just can't get comfortable with the stability of the situation for this particular opportunity, so we are going to officially wave you off for 24 hours," Mission Control radioed Discovery commander Eileen Collins.

"Tomorrow, they will land somewhere. That's the plan," said KSC's lead forecaster, John Madura, in an interview with the South Florida Sun-Sentinel.
