Below are points of interest in the article:
Discovery’s launch is currently targeted for no earlier than Dec. 17, after shuttle managers determined more tests and analysis are needed.
Also:
The Program Requirements Control Board reviewed on Wednesday repairs and engineering evaluations associated with cracks on two 21-foot-long, U-shaped aluminum brackets, called stringers, on the shuttle’s external tank.
Lastly:
The next status review by the PRCB will be Thursday, Dec. 2. If managers clear Discovery for launch on Dec. 17, the preferred time is about 8:51 p.m. EST.
