NASA delays Atlantis launch due to fuel gauge issues
NASA called off Atlantis liftoff at Cape Canaveral after two of four engine cutoff sensors in the external tank misread full while commanded empty. Officials expect a Friday retry if wiring repairs fix the problem. Columbus lab aboard Atlantis represents Europe’s space station addition and a broader U.S. shuttle retirement plan.

Defense Secretary Gates says Iraq’s leaders face impatience to move on reform as violence declines and local gains inspire calls for national action. Petraeus notes reductions in attacks, cites remaining problems in the north and questions over Iran’s role. Both stress security gains but warn it is early to confirm causes.

US says no change in Europe missile defense plan
The United States will not alter its plan to build a Europe missile defense system despite intelligence findings that Iran does not have an active nuclear weapons program. Officials say the threat remains and defense would be useful for any payload, with radar in the Czech Republic and interceptors in Poland aimed to be online by 2013 amid Russian objections.
