EDWARDS AIR FORCE BASE, Calif. (AP) - Space shuttle Endeavour
has to wait another day to make its cross-country return trip to
Florida.
NASA officials said on Sunday that Endeavour's piggyback ride
atop a modified jumbo jet was postponed until Tuesday because of
bad weather at its first scheduled stop in Texas.
The shuttle was diverted last week on its return from orbit to
Edwards Air Force Base in California after stormy weather hit its
main Florida landing site.
It was scheduled to leave Sunday but technicians had trouble
installing the aerodynamic cone that fits over the back of the
shuttle. Then NASA managers decided to delay it another day after
reviewing the weather forecast.
It will cost about $1.8 million to transport the shuttle from
California to Florida.
