WASHINGTON (AP) - June 18, 2009 The space agency announced plans for the Cape Canaveral launch
Wednesday after deciding to postpone a space shuttle mission
because of a hydrogen gas leak. The timing for the moon mission
couldn't be set until /*NASA*/ knew whether the shuttle plans would go
forward.
The robotic moon probes will hunt for hidden ice. The mission
will cost $583 million. NASA has three split-second times to try to
launch the Atlas V rocket carrying the two lunar probes. They are
at 5:12 p.m., 5:22 p.m., and 5:32 p.m. EDT.
NASA says there are also three possible time slots Friday
evening if the launch has to be delayed.
