Boeing Delta II Launch of Air Force GPS Satellite Scrubbed
ST. LOUIS, Nov. 5, 2004 - Today's launch attempt of a U.S. Air Force Global
Positioning System (GPS) satellite, GPS IIR-13, aboard a Boeing [NYSE: BA]
Delta II rocket from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Fla., was scrubbed.
At approximately 43 seconds left in the countdown, a hold was called due to
an issue involving the launch database system, and the launch team was
unable to address and resolve the issue in time to meet the end of the
launch window.
Boeing and the Air Force will make another attempt on Nov. 6, during a
28-minute window that opens at 12:39 a.m. EST.
Boeing will provide updated launch information at (714) 896-4770.
