Spaceflight Now | STS-127 Shuttle Report | Lightning delays Endeavour launch



Spaceflight Now | STS-127 Shuttle Report | Lightning delays Endeavour launch

Shared via AddThis

Lightning from a severe thunderstorm that rolled over the Kennedy Space Center on Friday, July 10 caused NASA to postpone the launch of space shuttle Endeavour, originally planned for Saturday, to allow engineers additional time to ensure the strikes at pad 39A didn't harm onboard systems.

This gallery of images from a camera positioned near the pad to capture the launch caught the dramatic lightning show.
