Atlantis was originally supposed to launch as early as March 15, but the golf ball-sized hail has helped push that back – workers found 1-2,000 divots in the foam, and several damaged heat tiles on the Shuttle’s left wing.
The shuttle was rolled back from the launch pad to the Vehicle Assembly Building, to analyze the damage and begin repairs. Managers are currently hoping for a launch date starting as early as April 22.
