NASA postpones Space Shuttle launch

NASA has now postponed the launch of space shuttle Atlantis to Saturday as they are going to work on resolving a fuel sensor problem.

NASA reported that they delayed the launch after noticing that the two sensors in its external tank failed a routine check.

They have until December 13 for this latest mission for the Space Shuttle and the Atlantis is required to leave the station before the angle of the sun’s rays change.

This mission has on board Germany’s Hans Schlegel and Leopold Eyharts of France along with five U.S. Astronauts: commander Stephen Frick, pilot Alan Poindexter, flight engineer Rex Walheim, Leland Melvin and Stanley Love.
