KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. -- Workers make adjustments on the Galaxy Evolution Explorer (GALEX) spacecraft during the second mating with the Pegasus XL launch vehicle. 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. KSC-03pd0997
