Discovery is waved off in two landing attempts Monday morning. Four landing opportunities on Tuesday, two in Florida, two in California.
Unstable weather—pop-up rain showers and a broken cloud deck at approximately 1,000 feet above the Kennedy Space Center’s Shuttle Landing Facility—forced flight controllers to wave-off both of today’s two landing opportunities for the space shuttle Discovery. The landing was originally scheduled for 4:47 a.m. EDT (0847 GMT).
