Live shuttle launch will finally have a go signal after more than a month of being delayed due to some technical problems. Viewers who would want to take a glimpse of it should take note about its launch time, which is about 7:40 PM Eastern Time or 4:40 Pacific Time. The location of the space shuttle launch will be from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida.



The original schedule of the shuttle launched ws first pegged last February 12. However, a hydrogen flow glitch was spotted by rocket technicians. This is why they had to delay the flight many times to assure the safety of the hydrogen vent lines that might cause the space shuttle to ignite in mid air if it is left unstabilized. However, the NASA technicians are now confident that the glitch has already been eliminated. This is why a go signal was already released for Space Shuttle STS-119.

The mission for this shuttle launch is to attach a final set of solar arrays for the International Space Station. Also, this flight also intends to replace outgoing flight engineer Sandra Magnus with Japanese astronaut Koichi Wakata. Plus the food and water supplies will be replenished, while the waste products will also be removed from the space station. A recycling system is also slated to be installed.
