The U.S. Air Forces Advance Extremely High Frequency 2 payload has been deployed following the launch of an Atlas 5 Friday from Cape Canaveral's Space Launch Complex-41.

The $1 billion satellite is designed to provide secure wartime communications between the president and military leaders.

The launch of the Atlas 5 was moved to Friday after being scrubbed Thursday due to technical reasons.
