NASA Shuttle Launch Scheduled Friday Night

NASA shuttle, Discovery, was supposed to be launched Friday morning, but after it was found out that there was a valve glitch, it was ordered that the launched would be on the evening of th same day. The said delay was ordered to give the engineers a little more time to be sure that the hydrogen valve in the engine compartment will function accurately during the space flight.

Discovery, the name of the shuttle, will be bringing supplies and equipment to the space station.During their tanking last Tuesday, the engineers found out that the valve fails to normally close and open during an operation. SO, hopefully, the launching will be successful.

NASA Shuttle Launch Today

Today, NASA planned to launched its new shuttle. The said launching was already been postponed three times before and this is the fourth time, the lanching is postponed. According to them, the delay is primarily caused by bad weather.

Endeavor, the shuttle's name, contains robotics that is set to do some important experiments on space, without having the risk the lives of its crew members. There will also be significant tasks assigned for the robotics to perform there.

I just hope that the crew can get home safe and sound and that the endeavor of Endeavor will be a success.
