The Space Weekly Official odds for an on time launch on Friday, is 38%.<\/p>\n
Here is why;<\/p>\n
Out of 117 Shuttle missions there have been only 59 that have launched on the scheduled day, so the average chance is about the flip of a coin.<\/p>\n
Atlantis the Shuttle slated to be launched has only launched on time 48% of the time.<\/p>\n
Of the 14 missions to be rolled back (2 were rolled back twice for a total of 16 rollbacks for 14 missions). Only 2 made their scheduled launch date.<\/p>\n
Although the weather for the day is 70% favorable, the weather in the Cape area of Florida tends to be worse in the late afternoon than in the morning.<\/p>\n
The final part of the equation is luck. This will be the first time Atlantis has had a launch attempt since 2002, almost 5 years of sitting.<\/p>\n
