NASA has postponed the launch of space shuttle Discovery to no earlier than 0905 UTC on 30 November. The delay will allow engineers and technicians time to diagnose and repair a hydrogen gas leak detected while filling the external tank. They also will assess a foam crack on the external fuel tank’s liquid oxygen intertank flange. The crack was discovered during de-tanking operations.
