Rain at Kennedy Space Center in Florida canceled plans to land the space shuttle Atlantis on Saturday.
The next landing opportunity at Florida's Kennedy Space Center will be at 10:11 a.m. ET Sunday, NASA said.
Edwards Air Force Base in California is available as a backup option should landing at Kennedy Space Center not work, NASA said.
It was the second consecutive day that NASA had decided to push back attempts to land the space shuttle because of lingering rainy weather in and around the Gulf of Mexico.
