Nasa delays launch of Mars orbiter
Nasa postponed launching a spacecraft to Mars today after a glitch popped up in the computer software used for monitoring the fuelling of the rocket used for lift-off.
The problem with sensors and software that measure the amount of fuel being loaded into the rocket appeared with just minutes left until lift-off. The Cape Canaveral launch was rescheduled for tomorrow morning.
The Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter was expected to spend at least four years circling Mars.
