NASA Reschedule Shuttle For 11 July Maybe

It was reported over the weekend by NASA engineers in Florida that they may have finally found the cause of the leaks that have been plaguing the shuttle Endeavour - and that they might even resolve the issue very quickly. Engineers will conduct a fuel-loading test by the start of July to prove that the problem has actually been solved. The leaks have prevented the last two launch attempts of the space shuttle, which must lift off before 14 July so that astronauts can get to the International Space Station in time for a complex, time-sensitive mission. It has been reported that the next launch attempt is 11 July.

Endeavour and its seven astronauts would have to launch no later than 14 July to get to the International Space Station and complete a complex assembly mission before the arrival of a um-manned Russian space freighter carrying critical supplies. Any delay past 14 July would push the launch to no earlier than 27 July and have a significant ripple effect on an International Space Station assembly mission set for launch on Discovery on 18 August.
