NASA postpones launch of space shuttle again

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla., Sep 8 (Reuters) NASA today postponed the launch of the space shuttle Atlantis from Florida due to a problem with a sensor in the spacecraft's external fuel tank, a NASA official said.

The mission to resume construction of the International Space Station had already been delayed nearly two weeks due to weather problems and a technical glitch with a power generator on the spacecraft.

NASA said it would make another attempt to fly the shuttle tomorrow.
