Thursdays attempt was scrubbed due to the compressor failing in the air
conditioning system that feeds cool dry air into the nose cone of the
Delta 2, and a investigation was called to see if any contamination got
on the NOAA-N satellite.
Launch attempt is scheduled 5:22 a.m. EST. with a window extending 10
minutes to 5:32 a.m. EST.
Satellite separation is scheduled for 66 minutes after launch.
Again weather is the concern with a 40 percent chance that weather will
be acceptable at launch time.
