Launch Scrubbed/Now set for Thursday
The launch of the NOAA-N Prime weather satellite was scrubbed 2 a.m. PST Wednesday when a launch pad gaseous nitrogen pressurization system failed.
This system maintains pressurization and purges to various systems of the Delta II rocket prior to launch. Immediate repair to this system is being undertaken.
The next launch attempt will be no earlier than Thursday, Feb. 5 at 2:22 a.m. PST., weather permitting.
The launch team will gather mid-day Wednesday to review the facility readiness and the weather forecast for launch.
