SpaceX is still working on ironing out the remaining issues before the first launch attempt of its Falcon 9 rocket from Cape Kennedy. The company awaits certification by regulators of its termination procedure, which would be used to destroy the rocket in the event it went dangerously off course.
SpaceX is still looking for a May launch, but to do that the launch would have to be fit into the period between the next shuttle launch, set for May 14, and a late May Delta 4 launch.
The Falcon 9 is to be the backbone of SpaceX's space business, delivering cargo, and perhaps eventually humans, to ISS.
