Spaceflight Now: Launch of NASA's lunar probes delayed to mid-June:

Quote:
The Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter and Lunar Crater Observation and Sensing Satellite were scheduled to launch June 2, but NASA announced Friday they are delaying the launch about two weeks.

Engineers will use the extra time to "mitigate a potential thrust disturbance" for the LCROSS impactor associated with fill and drain valves on the rocket's Centaur upper stage, according to a NASA statement.
Tentative launch target:
2009 June 17, TBD PDT, Tuesday Wednesday
2009 June 17, TBD EDT, Tuesday Wednesday
2009 June 17, TBD UTC, Tuesday Wednesday

33 days to launch
