Discovery landing delayed
New Florida arrival set for 5:07 a.m. ET Tuesday

Discovery to return home Tuesday morning (1:32)
NASA delays Discovery landing (5:48)
KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, Florida (CNN) -- "Unstable" weather conditions prompted NASA to scrub Discovery's scheduled landing Monday, the first space shuttle landing attempt since the Columbia disaster.
The next opportunity is scheduled for Tuesday at 5:07 a.m. ET at the Florida landing site.
"We just can't get comfortable with the stability of the situation for this particular opportunity. So we're going to officially wave you off for 24 hours," Ken Ham at Mission Control told the shuttle.
"OK, Houston we copy that. We'll be a wave off for today," responded shuttle Commander Eileen Collins.
The cloud cover, although within NASA's safety limits for landing, was enough to make mission controllers uncomfortable about attempting a Monday touchdown in Florida.
