Space shuttle to be moved from Florida launch pad

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla, Feb 27 (Reuters) The US space shuttle Atlantis will be moved from its launch pad to a hangar due to damage caused by a hailstorm to the fuel tank, NASA said today.

It was not immediately clear if the move would delay the next launch, which is scheduled for March 15.
