Description : (La description de cette image n'existe qu'en anglais)
(05/31/2002) -- Space Shuttle Endeavour sits poised for launch at Pad 39A after mission managers postponed today's launch of mission STS-111. Forecasters' predictions that weather would prohibit a launch attempt due to severe thunderstorms and rain showers within the vicinity of the launch pad were accurate as depicted by the rainwater on the pavement in the foreground. STS-111 is the second Utilization Flight to the International Space Station, carrying the Multi-Purpose Logistics Module Leonardo, the Mobile Base System (MBS), and a replacement wrist/roll joint for the Canadarm 2. Also on board will be the Expedition Five crew who will replace Expedition Four on the Station. Launch has been rescheduled for Monday, June 3, between 4 and 8 p.m. EDT
