After initial rumours of delays launch officials have confirmed this morning again that the launch will go ahead as planned tomorrow, Wednesday August 8th at an planned launch time of 6.36pm Eastern Time (5 hours behind the UK's British Summer Time)
The mission, STS-118 will deliver another section to the ISS in its continued construction. The mission will also be the first to use a wireless tile inspection device, saving the crew from manually checking the tiles before re-entry.
As on our previous post you can visit NASA.gov and listen to Mission Audio over the internet (Windows Media Player Required) or watch the NASA public TV channel over the net to keep up to date on the mission.
We all wish the crew the best of luck and god speed!
