Because of a fuel-tank gauge failure, NASA on Sunday postponed the space shuttle’s launch until January. But even though Atlantis won’t be going up before the new year, there’s still planning to be done. You can get in on some of the action — in a purely extracurricular way, of course — with NASA's Mission Planner, which lets you plot future space missions. You can also compare your plan with an interactive timeline of the actual flight plan set for Atlantis’ mission.
