Weather Scrubs Launch



Xenon lights over Launch Pad 39A at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida compete with the lightning strike seen to the left. Space shuttle Discovery is on the pad waiting for a scheduled launch on the STS-128 mission.



Launch was scrubbed due to the weather conditions that violated the limitations for liftoff. The next launch attempt is scheduled for 1:10 a.m. Aug. 26.
