(AXcess News) Houston, The space shuttle launch team was preparing for the first flight in over a year Wednesday as the NASA launch of the space shuttle Discovery readies for Saturday. Technical difficulties were not a factor as the space shuttle launch team prepared for a four to five day window to blast off into space starting Friday. Only weather seems to be a factor in liftoff at NASA's Kennedy Space Center, according to Jeff Spaulding, the NASA test director on the launch team.

Sun, Dec 9, 2007 Shuttle Launch Off Until January Dec 9, AP Aerospace Writer CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) - NASA on Sunday delayed the launch of space shuttle Atlantis until January after a gauge in the fuel tank failed for the second time in four days. With only a few days remaining in the launch window for the shuttle's mission to the international space station, senior managers decided to stand down until next month in hopes of better understanding the perplexing and persistent fuel gauge problem.

Municipal Bonds Investment July 1, 2005 (AXcess News) Washington - The U.S. space agency NASA has formally set July 13 as the date for the first launch of a shuttle since the loss of Columbia in 2003. NASA's chief says the agency has done everything possible to make the mission the safest ever.A two-day NASA review of flight readiness has resulted in the decision to end the two-and-a-half year moratorium on shuttle flights and fly the orbiter Discovery to the International Space Station in about two weeks.

Bond Terms Trading The decision is the culmination of a long investigation into the causes of the Columbia tragedy in 2003 and an even longer process of correcting them. NASA's new administrator, Michael Griffin, says that, while space flight is risky, the Discovery mission will be the safest in the shuttle's 24-year history.

Bond Debt High In Inside "My assessment is that the proximate causes of the loss of Columbia have been addressed, many other things which could have been of concern or would have been of concern have also been addressed," he said. "We honestly believe this is the cleanest flight we have ever done. The only other flight that will ever be cleaner is the next one."The shuttle Columbia disintegrated in 2003 after a piece of hard foam insulation peeled off the huge external fuel tank during launch and punched a hole in the wing. The hole allowed extremely hot atmospheric gases to penetrate and destroy the orbiter during re-entry and kill its seven astronauts minutes before landing.Earlier this week, an expert advisory panel said NASA has fallen short of accomplishing three of 15 safety modifications recommended by accident investigators, but concluded the shuttle was nevertheless safe to fly and the failures should not prevent a launch.The experts said the space agency has significantly reduced the chances that launch debris could harm the shuttle and has vastly improved its ability to detect damage. But the advisors noted that NASA has not yet been able to eliminate the risk of falling debris completely or devise practical techniques to have astronauts repair punctures in the shuttle's thermal skin in orbit.

Of particular importance is a new gyroscope to help stabilize the outpost. Only three of the four gyros on board are working and electrical circuit difficulties have threatened the operation of one of them.Sources: Voice of America
