Weather Forces Launch Scrub

Uncooperative Weather Forces Launch Postponement to Saturday

“The launch of Space Shuttle Discovery was scrubbed Thursday after poor weather conditions spoiled the attempt at Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Earlier in the day a cold front moved in over the spaceport, bringing clouds and winds into the area. The cloud ceiling proved to be too low for a safe launch, prompting NASA to postpone Discovery’s flight. NASA officials have set the next launch attempt for 8:47 p.m. EST on Dec. 9.”
