JPSS-1 Launch Postponed

The launch of a United Launch Alliance Delta II carrying the Joint Polar Satellite System-1, or JPSS-1, spacecraft for NASA and NOAA was scrubbed due to a red range and a late launch vehicle alarm. Due to the short launch window, there was insufficient time to fully coordinate a resolution. Liftoff now is planned for 1:47 a.m. PST (4:47 a.m. EST), Nov. 15, 2017, from Space Launch Complex-2 at Vandenberg Air Force Base in California.
