WASHINGTON, July 21 - NASA said it had set a new tentative launch date
for the shuttle Discovery of July 26 at 10:44 am (1444 GMT) from the
Kennedy Space Center near Cape Canaveral in Florida.
The US space agency scrubbed a planned lift-off on July 13 after a glitch
occurred in one of Discovery's fuel gauge systems during launch
preparations.
"Right now we think we have eliminated all possible causes" related to
the glitch, launch program director Bill Parson told reporters in a
televised press conference.
The planned July 26 launch would be the first US shuttle launch since
Columbia tore apart in February 2003, killing all seven astronauts aboard.
