NASA'S KEPLER TELESCOPE TO LAUNCH ABOARD DELTA II ROCKET

Engineers are reviewing all common hardware between the Delta II
rocket carrying the Kepler telescope and the Taurus XL launch
vehicle. On Tuesday, a Taurus carrying NASA's Orbiting Carbon
Observatory failed to reach orbit. Managers want to confirm there
will not be similar issues with Kepler's Delta II.

_Is_ there common hardware between a Delta II and a Taurus XL?
