The final launch of the space shuttle is now delayed to May 16 at the earliest. This is a third delay in Endeavour’s launch since the shuttle faced problem on April 29.

In a press release, NASA has said that the shuttle launch will not take place before May 16. The shuttle launch was canceled three times i.e. on April 29, May 2, and on May 8.

NASA also said that they will organize a press conference on Monday to update on the status of the repair work on hydraulic system.

The first family will watch the last launch of NASA’s youngest shuttle. After this mission, the shuttle will retire and will be sent for public display in a California museum. Endeavour will blast off from Kennedy Space Center in Cape
Canaveral, Fla. at 3:47 p.m. EDT on April 29.

Allard Beutel, Kennedy Space Center’s spokesman told Space.com, “We are a White House agency, we always welcome a visit from the president.”

The space agency called it a significant finding because the tilt in the axis may have affected the water stability and the frequency of the dust storms on Mars.

NASA, in a release, explained that MRO’s ground penetrating radar has identified a huge deposit of dry ice in the south pole of the planet. NASA reported, “The scientists suspect that much of this carbon dioxide enters the planet's atmosphere and swells the atmosphere's mass when Mars' tilt increases.”
