Weather

favorable for Thursday shuttle launch

POSTED: 2:58 p.m. EST, December 5, 2006

 

CAPE CANAVERAL, Florida

(AP) -- The weather forecast for the planned liftoff of Discovery was

downgraded slightly Tuesday but still remained favorable for the first night space

shuttle launch in more than four years.

Concerns about clouds over the Kennedy Space Center at the

launch time of 9:35 p.m. EST Thursday caused forecasters to reduce the

chances of favorable weather to 70 percent from 80 percent. Strong wind was

expected on Friday and Saturday, diminishing the chances of good launch weather

for those days to 40 percent.

" The first day is the best day weatherwise, " said Kathy

Winters, shuttle weather officer.

Weather will improve early next week.

NASA has four launch opportunities over five days, if need

be, to start the 12-day mission.

The space agency likely won't attempt to launch past

December 17 since flight controllers want Discovery on the ground before the new

year. Shuttle computers aren't designed to make the change from the 365th day

of the old year to the first day of the new year while in flight. A potential

solution to the problem hasn't been thoroughly tested.

However, NASA officials haven't ruled out going past

December 17 if they run out of launch opportunities.
