Managers from National Aeronautics and Space Administration or NASA has given the green signal on the space shuttle Atlantis scheduled for liftoff in two days.

The mission is to deliver Europe's first permanent space laboratory to the International Space Station (ISS). The approval was given despite meteorologists' predictions that a cold front will be moving through Florida.

The expected weather disturbance will likely happen near the Kennedy Space Center where Atlantis is scheduled for take off. Scientists just gave a 40% chance for suitable launch in Thursday at 2:45 p.m. EST.

NASA's shuttle mission management team head LeRoy Cain said, "The team feels like we're in a very good place to go fly on Thursday. We're all thinking that Thursday's the day - regardless of what the weather guy might tell ya."

The above mentioned launch was originally scheduled back in December but it was delayed due to a shuttle emergency engine cutoff system.
