The next launch attempt will be on Saturday, Feb. 17. The launch window extends from 6:01 p.m. to 6:19 p.m. EST. The chance of not meeting the launch weather criteria on Saturday is 10 percent due to a chance for thick layered clouds, and upper level winds will also continue to be of some concern. Launch coverage on NASA Television will begin at 3:45 p.m. EST. -end- To subscribe to the list, send a message to: ksc-subscribe@newsletters.nasa.gov To remove your address from the list, send a message to: ksc-unsubscribe@newsletters.nasa.gov
