NASA managers are meeting to assess if shuttle Endeavour is ready to begin a 16-day mission to the International Space Station. Fueling was to have begun at 10:14 a.m., but NASA held off to assess whether a series of lighting strikes at the launch pad Friday night caused any damage. If the all-clear is given, fueling should begin shortly before 11 a.m.


The shuttle remains targeted for liftoff at 7:39 p.m. EDT from Kennedy Space Center.
