NASA ends checks for Discovery launch to Tuesday liftoff
NASA reports it has completed grounding fixes and extensive troubleshooting for the Discovery shuttle in advance of a Tuesday liftoff for the first flight in 1 2 years. Engineers narrowed causes of a fuel gauge fault and seek four functioning gauges for a daylight launch amid 60 percent weather odds.
