CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla., Dec 6 (Reuters) - NASA canceled a launch of the space shuttle Atlantis planned for Friday, saying it would make another attempt on Saturday.

The launch, originally scheduled for Thursday, was postponed after the failure of two sensors in the spacecraft's fuel tank, officials said. (Reporting by Maggie Fox, editing by Doina Chiacu)
