LAUNCH WAVED OFF DUE TO POOR WEATHER CONDITION. STORM CLOUDS AND LIGHTNING DISABLED THE LAUNCH
Space shuttle Endeavour's STS-127 launch now is scheduled for July 13 at
6:51 p.m. EDT.

Officials at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida called off Sunday's planned liftoff due to inclement weather. Cumulus clouds and lightning violated rules for launching Endeavour because of weather near the Shuttle Landing Facility. The runway would be needed in the unlikely event that Endeavour would have to make an emergency landing back at Kennedy. 

The STS-127 astronauts left Launch Pad 39A at about 8:35 p.m. EDT to return to crew quarters at Kennedy's Operations & Checkout Building for the night.


BEST OF LUCK TO THE ASTRONAUT TEAM OF STS 127!!
