Orbital ATK CRS-4 Launch Postponed Due to High Winds

Because of wind gusts that exceeded the weather criteria for launching, Orbital ATK and United Launch Alliance have postponed the planned launch of the Atlas V rocket carrying the Cygnus spacecraft. It is Orbital ATK’s fourth commercial resupply services mission to the International Space Station. Lift off has been rescheduled for a 30 minute launch window opening at 5:10 p.m., Saturday, Dec. 5.
