Science: NASA postponed Mars Mission

NASA has put off the launch of a probe to Mars.

Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) was due to take off Thursday, after a previous delay.

An "anomaly" has caused the new postponement, NASA officials have said.

MRO is expected to help scientists pick possible landing sites. The mission will also shed more light on how water has moved on the planet's service, giving possible clues to previous possible life forms on Mars.
