CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — NASA on Thursday delayed the launch of space shuttle Atlantis to Jan. 10 to give workers time off at Christmas.

After back-to-back delays caused by errant fuel gauges, shuttle managers had been targeting a liftoff no earlier than Jan. 2.

Launch attempts on Dec. 6 and 9 were scuttled late in the countdown after some of the hydrogen fuel gauges in Atlantis’ external fuel tank failed.
