This is still "unofficial":  the new launch date is September 3.
There is also good reason to believe that it won't launch until
September 6.

In one of my previous postings, I put in launch window times.  These were
a bit misleading, because the window I described was about 5 hours long.
There is an additional constraint not accounted for in those times:  the
crew is only allowed to sit in the unlaunched shuttle for a certain period
of time.  This limits the launch window to a maximum of 3 hours.

Window opening times for:
September 3   13:47 GMT    9:47 EDT
September 6   13:49 GMT    9:49 EDT
