NASA Delays Shuttle Launch for One More Day



 

NASA has postponed the launch of space shuttle "Atlantis" because of a faulty fuel tank sensor.  The space agency says it will try again on Saturday.

The fuel sensor problem that popped up on Friday morning is a similar glitch to one that has plagued the agency in the past.
     
The latest problem is different from the one earlier in the week with one of the power cells onboard the shuttle itself. NASA says it's convinced the cell wouldn't be a problem in orbit.
   
The Atlantis crew includes Philadelphia-born pilot Christopher Ferguson.
