(CNN) -- NASA crews will perform a full survey of the space shuttle Endeavour on Thursday, a day after high winds and hail battered the launch pad, according to the space agency.
"No one was injured and initially no obvious damage was observed. The storm moved through the area quickly," a NASA press release said.
Endeavour is scheduled to blast off to the International Space Station on April 19th. The space shuttle's six astronauts are at the Kennedy Space Center for their launch dress rehearsal.
NASA says the storm blew in at about 5:20 p.m. Wednesday.
Teams will head to the launch pad on Thursday to confirm there was no damage to the orbiter, which is being prepared for its final flight, before heading into retirement.
