Don't Know Why, There's No Delta In The Sky

Stormy Weather

Boeing executives Sunday delayed the launch of a Delta IV rocket. The reason? Weather. At launch time, Kennedy Space Center forecasters expected a a 70 percent chance of high winds up to 50 miles-per-hour in the Cape Canaveral area.

The launch pad's mobile service tower was rolled back to provide protection to the rocket and the satellite payload.

Secured For High Winds, Making Repairs

Engineers have performed a thorough lock-down of the rocket and are using the extra time to make minor insulation repairs following last night's launch attempt.

The next launch attempt is planned for Monday, Mar. 10 with the 77-minute window opening at 6:42 p.m. EST.

A Boeing Delta IV Medium launch vehicle is scheduled to launch the Defense Satellite Communications System spacecraft, DSCS III A3 for the U.S. Air Force.
