> 
> CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. - NASA mission managers canceled Tuesday's 
> scheduled launch of the Ares I-X flight test because of weather 
> concerns at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Another launch 
> attempt is targeted for Wednesday. A four-hour launch window opens at 
> 8 a.m. EDT.
> 
> The launch was delayed for 24 hours because of winds at the launch pad 
> that exceeded the 20-knot limit and concerns about clouds with 
> moisture that could have caused static build-up on the rocket and led 
> to communication issues. Forecasters predict a 60 percent chance of 
> favorable weather Wednesday.
> 
> The Ares I-X is part of a larger flight test program that will provide 
> data for future launch vehicles and give NASA an opportunity to test 
> and prove hardware, facilities and ground operations.
