Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Fla. (Feb. 17, 2012) – The launch of an Atlas V carrying the United States Navy’s Mobile User Objective System-1 (MUOS-1) payload was scrubbed today due to weather conditions associated with upper level winds and flight rules associated with thick clouds.

Due to lack of range availability and also the forecast weather conditions for the next several days, the Atlas V vehicle and MUOS will return to the Vertical Integration Facility and will roll back out to the launch pad prior to launch.

The launch is rescheduled for no earlier than Wednesday, Feb. 22 from Space Launch Complex-41 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Fla.
