[amsat-bb] Re: Shuttle landing

*The landing of the shuttle Discovery at the Kennedy Space Center has been delayed for at least a day due to bad weather in Florida.*

Thunderstorms and strong winds meant that the US space agency NASA skipped both Thursday landing possibilities.

The shuttle, which is returning from a mission to the International Space Station (ISS), will have to orbit the earth for a 14th day.

The new landing slot is at 1754 (2154 GMT) on Friday.

However the weather forecast for Friday is worse, and Saturday is only a little better.

NASA says if necessary it will consider the possibility of using a runway at Edwards Air Force Base in California.
