Final Countdown - shuttle Atlantis

Jump to newest

Weather remains the primary concern ahead of Friday's planned launch of the last shuttle mission.

The Atlantis orbiter is due to lift off at 1126 local Florida time (1526 GMT) on a mission to haul critical supplies to the International Space Station.

But forecasters believe there is a 70% chance now that stormy weather will prevent the shuttle getting away on time from the Kennedy Space Center.

Nasa officials say they will continue with the countdown nonetheless.

"The weather is the weather," said Mike Moses, the chair of the mission management team, recalling worse forecasts in the past that ultimately did not hold up the flight.
