Tonights Delta 4 / GOES-N launch attempt has been scrubbed about 45 
minutes before liftoff to give engineers more time to complete some 
analysis with the composite-wrapped pressure tanks on the second stage 
that provides helium pressure to the liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen 
fuel systems for the first and second stages of the Delta 4 rocket.

The launch was delayed back in April due to the same concerns with these 
tanks which resulted in the demating of the stages to get access. The 
concern was about an internal buckle in the vessels.

Another attempt to launch could be made Tuesday pending the outcome of 
the analysis, or it may be longer.
