The system is used to carry excess hydrogen safely away from the launch pad at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. At 12:26 a.m. EDT Saturday, managers officially scrubbed the launch for at least 96 hours. The earliest the shuttle could be ready for liftoff is June 17, however there is a range conflict on that date with the scheduled launch of the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter/Lunar Crater Observation and Sensing Satellite from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Florida. Mission managers will hold a meeting at 2:00 p.m. Sunday to discuss the repair options and Endeavour's launch attempt opportunities. A news conference will follow the meeting's conclusion and will air live on NASA Television and the agency web site.
