(Phone: 321/867-2468) MEDIA ADVISORY: M05-118 NASA UPDATES MEDIA ABOUT SPACE SHUTTLE LAUNCH STATUS Space Shuttle managers will brief reporters this afternoon about NASA's Space Shuttle Return to Flight mission (STS-114). The news conference starts no earlier than 5:30 p.m. EDT, and it will be carried live on NASA TV from the Kennedy Space Center, Fla. Managers and engineers are meeting today to review data and possible troubleshooting plans for a liquid hydrogen low-level fuel sensor inside the External Tank. The sensor failed a routine prelaunch check during the launch countdown Wednesday, causing mission managers to postpone Discovery's first launch attempt. A new official launch date will be scheduled when a troubleshooting plan is complete and engineers are working on a solution.
