Background:
Background: STS-126 is currently scheduled to launch on November 14th 2008. Will the launch be postponed no more than 1 day?
The latest from NASA:
"Endeavour, which was stationed on Launch Pad 39B, is going to launch from Launch Pad 39A so modification work can resume on the 39B complex to host the Ares I-X test flight in 2009. Endeavour is being prepared to fly mission STS-126 to the International Space Station. The shuttle will take equipment to the orbiting laboratory so it can double its resident crew size from three to six.
The astronauts who will fly Endeavour to the station ended their work week by practicing rendezvous maneuvers and reviewing the spacewalks planned for the mission at NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston."
