Atlantis Launch Postponed As Ernesto Nears

NASA mission managers Monday morning decided to scrub Tuesday's scheduled launch attempt of the Space Shuttle Atlantis.
Preliminary preparations are also under way to roll the orbiter back to the Vehicle Assembly Building, although no final decision has been made to allow for possible changes in Tropical Storm Ernesto's track. That decision is expected by midday Tuesday.

More details will be available at a 10:15 a.m. EDT briefing, which will be live on NASA Television.
