CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) - NASA is late in supplying vital information to the task force overseeing the agency's effort to resume shuttle flights for the first time since the Columbia disaster — a delay that could force the postponement of Discovery's launch in May.
A top shuttle official said Friday that it is taking the space agency longer than expected to put together all of the necessary paperwork and documentation, and to complete all the final reviews on the design changes and other improvements made to the shuttle in the wake of the 2003 catastrophe.
Another two weeks of reviews will be needed before that information is available, said Michael Kostelnik, deputy associate administrator for the shuttle and station programs.
