The U.S. Space Agency NASA is planning to start its space shuttle Atlantis in Cape Canaveral, Florida on Wednesday.
A NASA spokesman said the weather forecast is extremely positive for the launch, set for 12:29 pm local time - a time of day before Florida's frequent afternoon thunderstorms.
Atlantis was at first scheduled to launch August 27 on a mission to restart construction of the International Space Station. But that launch was late after a lightning beat at the launch pad.
