"If no issues are found during the data review, launch still will be on track for tomorrow at 3:47 pm (1947 GMT)"
If weather forces a delay, NASA has other launch windows set for Saturday and Sunday.
NASA officials say upwards of 700,000 people are expected to jam the area.
It will be only the third time in NASA history that a sitting president attends a manned launch. It took John Glenn to lure Bill Clinton. He watched the 77-year-old senator return to orbit aboard Discovery in 1998. President Richard Nixon was on hand for the launch of Apollo 12 to the moon in 1969.
Then it's Atlantis in June...
