Hum Posted June 30, 2005 Share Posted June 30, 2005 CNN) -- NASA administrator Michael Griffin announced Thursday afternoon the space shuttle's return to flight in July. "Based on a very thorough and very successful flight readiness review, we're currently go for launch of Discovery on July 13," Griffin said. Senior NASA officials and shuttle program managers announced the launch date after a two-day "flight readiness review" for Discovery. NASA has committed to daytime launches for the next two shuttle missions to ensure ideal lighting conditions for the cameras that will scrutinize the shuttle's ascent into orbit. The launch date comes just days after a panel chartered to oversee NASA's return-to-flight program said the agency failed to fully meet three of the 15 return-to-flight recommendations laid out after the Columbia accident. "We look like we're in pretty good shape. ... Based on what I know now, we're ready to go." more: http://www.cnn.com/2005/TECH/space/06/30/s...ttle/index.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
