"Space shuttle Discovery's launch on the STS-133 mission has been delayed until no earlier than Thursday," NASA said in a statement. The mission, initially scheduled for Monday, has been postponed three times.
Earlier delays were announced so that Kennedy Space Center technicians could repair quick-disconnect fittings in the system used to pressurize one of Discovery's orbital maneuvering rocket engines.
