CAPE CANAVERAL, FL -- The scheduled launch of the space shuttle Endeavour has been delayed for at least 48 hours due to a technical problem.

The shuttle had been scheduled to lift off at 3:47 p.m. on its final space flight.

Commanding Endeavour on NASA's next-to-last shuttle flight is Navy Capt. Mark Kelly. He's married to Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, who was planning to watch the launch from Kennedy Space Center.

President Barack Obama also planned to attend with his family.

Endeavour has logged more than 103 million miles in space, blasting off 24 times, but its 25th flight will be its last
