KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, Fla. —
NASA’s trip to fix the Hubble Space Telescope has been delayed two more days so workers can complete final wiring checks aboard space shuttle Discovery.
The new launch is scheduled for Dec. 11, at 12:13 a.m. EST.
Hubble cannot make any astronomical observations until spacewalking astronauts install new gyroscopes to aim and steady the telescope.
