The potential threat of Hurricane Lili to the mission control center at NASA Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas has made space shuttle program managers move the launch date for mission STS-112 to no earlier than Monday, Oct. 7 between the hours of 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. EDT.

Since Hurricane Lili made landfall well east of Houston, Texas, the Johnson Space Center team has begun preparing for the Monday launch.

Atlantis will carry six crewmembers one of which is former Goddard scientist Dr. Piers Sellers. Sellers is making his spaceflight debut on STS-112 and will perform three space walks with co-mission specialist David Wolf.

Goddard employees in Greenbelt, may view the launch in the bldg 8, auditorium.
