Ground Issue Pushes Atlas Launch to Wednesday

Submitted by Anonymous on June 18, 2012 - 8:41am

An environmental control system duct problem has delayed, until Wednesday, the planned Monday launch of an Atlas 5 rocket, carrying a classified National Reconnaissance Office payload, from Cape Canaveral.

The duct in the ground equipment required the 19-story rocket to be rolled back to the assembly hangar.

The window is now between 8:28 to 9:27 a.m. (EDT) on Wednesday.

Comments are now closed.
