ULA UPDATE: ULA Delta IV GPS IIF-2 Postponed 24 Hours

Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Fla. (July 14, 2011) – The launch of a Delta IV rocket carrying the Air Force’s Global Positioning System (GPS) IIF-2 payload was scrubbed today due to unfavorable weather which prevented the launch team from rolling the Mobile Service Tower away from the vehicle for launch. The launch is rescheduled for Saturday, July 16 from Space Launch Complex-37 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Fla. The opening of the 19-minute launch window is 2:41 a.m. EDT. The forecast for July 16 shows a 70 percent chance of favorable weather conditions for the launch.
