NASA has pushed back the launch of the space shuttle Endeavour again – to no earlier than May 10 – after mission managers determined that ground teams will need more time to complete repairs to one of the orbiter’s power systems.

Top agency officials met today (May 2) and decided that Tuesday, May 10, will be the earliest opportunity to launch Endeavour on its final mission to the International Space Station. This date, however, depends on the success of complicated testing and repairs to a component called the auxiliary power unit, which is located in the shuttle’s rear, or aft section.
