Washington, July 14 (DPA) The space shuttle Endeavour was grounded for the fifth time on Monday with stormy weather again causing NASA to cancel a scheduled launch.

A storm south of the Cape Canaveral, Florida launch site threatened not just the launch, but also a landing site should the flight need to be aborted after lift-off. The decision to scrub the launch came shortly before the planned 6.51 p.m. (2251 GMT)

launch.

NASA said it would try again Wednesday at 6.03 p.m. (2203 GMT).

'When the time is right, we'll be here and we'll be ready,' said Commander Mark Polansky, who had been strapped into the shuttle along with the rest of the crew when the effort was scrubbed.
