After three previous attempts to launch, the space shuttle Discovery lifted off into outer space in what was the last scheduled nighttime launch remaining for the shuttle fleet. NASA only has six more shuttle missions planned before the fleet is retired either in 2010 or 2011. The 37th flight for Discovery started with a brilliant nighttime launch into orbit at 11:59 pm ET Friday night.

The rescheduled launch of the space shuttle Discovery has been scrubbed due to a problem with a fill-and-drain valve located inside the aft compartment. Preparations were on scheduled for the launch early Wednesday morning when the problem was discovered.

The space shuttle launch time is still on scheduled with the countdown proceeding as planned. Shuttle Discovery was given the “go” from NASA’s mission management team on Sunday. Scheduled for a beautiful night time launch, Discovery and its crew are schedule to launch at 1:36 am ET Tuesday morning.

NASA says the current weather conditions violate the rules for Shuttle Launch. The new schedule for NASA's shuttle launch is set for Monday.
