Discovery Set for Launch Tomorrow Evening

From NASA: The STS-119 launch was scrubbed at 2:37 p.m. EDT due to a hydrogen leak in a Liquid Hydrogen vent line between the shuttle and the external tank. The launch team is currently beginning the process of draining the external fuel tank. We'll turn around for launch attempt tomorrow at 8:54 p.m. EDT. This is the last of the space station missions for the U.S.
This image was taken this morning at dusk.

**UPDATE** Launch scheduled for no earlier than March 15th.
