CAPE CANAVERAL, Florida (Reuters) - NASAis considering delaying space shuttle Discovery's planned October 23 liftoff to replace three possibly defective heat shield panels on the ship's wing, officials said on Wednesday.

The shuttle is scheduled to haul a key connection node to the International Space Station so additional science laboratories can be joined to the complex.

NASA managers were meeting at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida to review launch preparations.
