NASA announced today that the space shuttle Endeavour will not launch earlier than May 16 at 8:56 a.m. ET. Last Friday, NASA scrubbed the launch because a blown fuse prevented heaters on a hydraulic system fuel line from turning on.
Endeavour's STS-134 mission has been closely watched because it will be commanded by Mark Kelly, Congresswoman Gabrielle Gifford's husband, and it is also the penultimate launch of the 30-year-old shuttle program.
"This weekend, technicians will continue to repair and retest electrical circuitry that caused a postponement of Endeavour's April 29 launch attempt," NASA said in a news release.
