Weather delays shuttle landing by one orbit
BY WILLIAM HARWOOD STORY WRITTEN FOR CBS NEWS "SPACE PLACE" & USED WITH PERMISSION Posted: March 26, 2008
Florida's hard-to-predict weather surprised NASA forecasters today, forcing flight director Richard Jones to delay the shuttle Endeavour's re-entry by one orbit because of low clouds over the Kennedy Space Center. Shuttle commander Dominic Gorie and pilot Gregory Johnson are now setting up for a deorbit rocket firing at 7:33 p.m., which would result in a landing at 8:39 p.m.
"Dom, unfortunately the weather trend did not improve as we had hoped," astronaut James Dutton radioed from Houston. "So we are going to be waving off one orbit."
"Jim, we copy the waveoff for one rev," Gorie replied.
"The forecast for the second opportunity is scattered (clouds) at 5,000," Dutton said. "So we're looking for some improvement."
There are no technical problems of any significance and the weather remains the only concern. If Gorie and his crewmates cannot get down on their second opportunity, the mission will be extended 24 hours and they will try again Thursday.
