Workers push the Galaxy Evolution Explorer (GALEX) spacecraft toward the Pegasus XL launch vehicle for a second mating. The March 26 launch was delayed to enable protective covers to be added to the Optical Wheel Assembly (OWA) on GALEX to avoid the possibility of a missing electrical cable fastener floating into and jamming the mechanism when GALEX is in orbit. Launch of GALEX is now scheduled for no earlier than April 26.
