Following a briefing by a special assessment team, NASA
managers have decided to postpone the August 5th launch of
Space Shuttle Endeavour on Mission STS-69 in order to finish
a review of flight hardware associated with O-rings in a
nozzle joint of the Reusable Solid Rocket Motor (RSRM). Launch
of Endeavour is now targeted for no earlier than mid-August.
Shuttle managers expect to receive another briefing by
the RSRM assessment team at the end of next week. They plan
to wait until the assessment team has concluded its efforts
before determining a new launch date for Endeavour.
