SOCAL Peeps: Vandenburg AFB Delta IV Launch 5:49PM
 

Delta IV Launch out of Vandenburg at 5:49PM PST. For those of us in SOCAL, look toward the West. :)

WESTSIDE!!!!!!!!

I'm on the air right now, but I'm going to try to go outside and snap a few pictures...If I get something acceptable, I'll post to the thread. :)

Same here.

I have no idea what this means

Launch Scrubbed.

In Southern California, we periodically see Rocket Launches (Space-X etc) that make a pretty spectacular light show in the sky.

This is like the 20th time it’s been cancelled

It's up there. Annoyed.

Rescheduled for tomorrow @ 5:31 PST

Oh, nice. I assumed it was something like that. Why did it get cancelled?

Not exactly sure, but I believe it's the 5th time they have cancelled the launch. :shrug:

Rocket launches require about a thousand little things going perfectly in a very precise sequence. Launches are scrubbed (postponed) quite often - I'd guess maybe 20% of the time.

In this case, it sounds like there was some sort of hydrogen leak. They'll find it, fix it, and try again tomorrow.

Is this the new top secret military GPS satellite?

do they have a schedule of their launchings? I saw that last one and it was freaking amazing looking in the skky
