Nasa has postponed Saturday's launch of Space Shuttle Endeavour due to a hydrogen leak.

The shuttle had been scheduled to lift off Saturday morning with seven astronauts aboard including Canadian Julie Payette.

The leak was discovered while the shuttle was being fuelled and is similar to the one the space agency dealt with in March during the launch countdown of Discovery.

The shuttle was scheduled to dock at the International Space Station in three days to deliver equipment and drop off a new crew member.
