Live at KSC: NASA pre-launch briefing

Watch The Flame Trench for coverage of a 1 p.m. pre-launch briefing held after the morning Mission Management Team meeting.

Atlantis likely will receive final clearance for launch, though weather could delay the Thursday launch attempt until Friday. Air Force forecasters predict a 60 percent chance of unfavorable weather on Thursday, while the weather improves to 80 percent favorable on Friday.

A decision to delay the launch would likely not come until just before tanking at 5:20 a.m. on Thursday, NASA test director Steve Payne said today.
