NASA will try to launch space shuttle Atlantis on August 27 to restart edifice of the half-built International Space Station, US space agency officials said on Wednesday.
Launch was set for 4:30pm EDT (08:30 NZT August 28), but technical issues should be resolved before the shuttle is officially cleared for flight.
"The challenge of the space station assembly is actually huge. It might not go exactly the way it's all scripted," NASA's associate administrator for space operations, Bill Gerstenmaier, told reporters at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
