CAPE CANAVERAL, FLA.: NASA fixing leak on shuttle fuel tank

NASA is repairing a leaky hydrogen gas line on Endeavour’s fuel tank in hopes of possibly launching the space shuttle on Wednesday.

The leak forced mission managers to call off a launch attempt Saturday.

The repair work began Sunday and should be completed in time for Endeavour to lift off Wednesday on the space station construction mission. But that’s the same day a pair of science spacecraft are scheduled to blast off for the moon.

NASA’s top officials have yet to decide which mission takes priority.
