Sensor glitch continues to mystify NASA; no launch date yet

Engineers worked around the clock this weekend to find out more about the problem with a faulty fuel sensor that has grounded the shuttle Discovery.

Late Monday, NASA managers admitted they still have not found the problem. That means the earliest possible date for launch is now next Tuesday, July 26.

"It's difficult to find the glitch that won't stay glitched," said Shuttle Manager Bill Parsons.

When asked if there are other concerns besides the fuel sensor, NASA's Wayne Hale answered: "We have little dingleberry problems every day of the week."

Though it now seems "increasingly difficult" to launch in July, NASA says, it still has not given up hope of launching Discovery before the end of the month.

If it doesn't happen by then, NASA would have to wait until the next best launch window in September.

You would think that he could've used more professional terminology.

I thought they had to launch by Saturday (in fact, by LAST Saturday) in order to have a daytime launch window that would rendezvous with the ISS -- and that they are requiring a daytime launch so that they can get good video of the shuttle going up, just in case anything damages it again. That's what the news reports were saying two weeks ago, anyway.
