Atlas V GOES-R Launch Rescheduled

Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Fla. (Nov. 3, 2016) – The launch of a United Launch Alliance Atlas V carrying the GOES-R weather satellite for NASA and NOAA is being rescheduled.

The postponement was caused by the same minor Atlas V booster issue discovered on the WorldView-4 mission scheduled to launch from Vandenberg Air Force Base.

The team is actively working towards a resolution.

A new launch date will be released once it is established.
