Target - Liftoff for Friday Night - STS 128

Shuttle Managers Target Discovery's Liftoff for Friday Night

The Mission Management Team has concluded with the decision to target launchfor Friday, Aug. 28 at 11:59 p.m. EDT instead of 12:22 a.m. Friday morning.

The additional time will allow teams to plan in case they see the samereading that happened with the liquid hydrogen fill and drain valve thatcaused Tuesday afternoon's launch scrub during tanking.

The MMT will meet again on Friday at noon.
A news conference will be held on NASA TV later this afternoon to discussthe decision.
