“The weather has just bitten us again,” launch director Pete Nickolenko radioed to the Endeavour crew.
Endeavour had been scheduled to lift off at 6:51 p.m. EDT (2251 GMT) on a mission to install a Japanese-built outdoor research platform at the International Space Station.
The flight has been on hold for a month, delayed by fuel leaks, lightning strikes and bad weather.
