NASA has reportedly released the earliest (NET) date to give engineers more time to evaluate the problem.

"The team has been in meetings for two consecutive days assessing flight justification, system performance and redundancy," the US space agency said. “There is still work ahead in these areas, and the next possible launch date is still being discussed.

"NASA will share more information once we have a clearer path forward."
