CAPE CANAVERAL, Florida (Reuters) - NASA said on Tuesday that September 6 was the earliest possible date for its next attempt to launch space shuttle Atlantis on a mission to the International Space Station.
The U.S. space agency had originally set last Sunday as the day for liftoff. But the mission was delayed by a thunder bolt that hit the shuttle's seaside launch pad in central Florida on Friday and then by Tropical Storm Ernesto.
