CAPE CANAVERAL, Florida (Reuters) - Space shuttle Endeavour was being readied for a sixth launch attempt at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida on Wednesday for a mission to deliver the last piece of Japan's research laboratory to the International Space Station.
Meteorologists said there was a 60 percent chance of conditions suitable for liftoff Wednesday after more than a month of delays due to fuel leaks, lightning strikes and poor weather near the shuttle's seaside launch pad.
