(CNN) -- The launch of the space shuttle Endeavour, originally scheduled for April 29, has been delayed again, NASA said Friday.
The next launch attempt will be "no earlier than May 16," said NASA spokesman Allard Beutel. If the shuttle launches on that day, liftoff would be at 8:56 a.m. EDT.
NASA had previously said that the final flight for the Endeavour wouldn't be any earlier than May 10,
