NASA skips shuttle's first landing opportunity
From NASA Website:
Mission Control Houston called the crew aboard Space Shuttle Discovery to wave off the first landing opportunity at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida today. Weather conditions at the landing site are not acceptable for that opportunity.
The second Florida opportunity is one orbit later. It would require a three-minute deorbit burn at 5:37 a.m. EDT, with touchdown occurring at 6:43.
There are several more landing opportunities for today, including two at Edwards Air Force Base in California and two at White Sands Space Harbor in New Mexico.
