US-SPACE-SHUTTLE-ISS
(FILES) The STS-119 Shuttle Discovery crew members gather on Launch Pad 39A at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida on January 20 , 2009 before beginning their emergency egress training. Seen in this photo L-R are: Mission Specialists Koichi Wakata, Steve Swanson and Joseph Acaba, Pilot Tony Antonelli, Commander Lee Archambault and Mission Specialists Richard Arnold and John Phillips. NASA has postponed the launch of the space shuttle Discovery for a fourth time, but without setting a new target date to send the orbiter to the International Space Station (ISS). The decision was announced late on February 20, 2009 after a 13-hour meeting of a team in charge of preparation for the launch, which said it wanted to conduct further tests on three flow control valves. The launch was initially scheduled for February 12. Then it was delayed until February 19 and then again until around February 27. Discovery's seven astronauts, are to deliver the fourth and last pair of power-generating solar panels to the ISS. AFP PHOTO/HO/NASA = GETTY OUT= RESTRICTED TO EDITORIAL USE =
