Launch of ULA Atlas V rocket scrubbed due to weather, next attempt set for SUNDAY. It was fun to watch anyway. When I got up this morning I wanted to watch that rocket take off, but it didn't, due to clouds and weather conditions. It was fun to watch anyway because listening to the different people in the control room saying either go or no was interesting. They almost got through the whole list of GOES before near the end a NO was said. This happened a couple of times and they moved the launch time ahead a couple of hours but it still wasn't good enough for the rocket to take off.  The new date is TOMORROW and maybe the weather will be better and this time it WILL take off. Since Q wanted us to know about this rocket I wanted to see it lift off. "A launch status check, also known as a "go/no go poll" and several other terms occurs at the beginning of an American spaceflight mission in which flight controllers monitoring various systems are queried for operation and readiness status before a launch can proceed."  "CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. - Due to weather conditions, the launch of a United Launch Alliance (ULA) Atlas V rocket on Saturday was scrubbed. Another launch attempt will be made in 24 hours. ULA says it is now targeting the launch for Sunday at 9:14 a.m. EDT. The original time for the launch was Saturday at 8:24 a.m., but ULA scrubbed it because of unfavorable conditions. It was then moved to the second window of 10:13 a.m. but "no-go" weather conditions caused the launch to be moved to 10:23 a.m. With just seconds to go, ULA decided to stop the countdown and scrub Saturday's attempt. The Atlas V rocket was scheduled to bring a military space plane for the U.S. Space Force into orbit on Saturday morning from Space Launch Complex 41 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station. The primary payload on the USSF-7 mission is the X-37B, an unpiloted space plane, also known as the Orbital Test Vehicle. It's like a smaller version of the space shuttles that NASA used to use. It's an unmanned Boeing spacecraft that can conduct experiments in space without any human astronauts aboard. Mike Wagner, from U.S. Launch Report, who showed up to watch Saturday's launch, said it was a disappointment. “I heard them counting down several times,” he said, “so I think they were really trying hard to get it off the ground.” https://www.fox29.com/news/launch-of-ula-atlas-v-rocket-scrubbed-due-to-weather-next-attempt-set-for-sunday Prayer for Fine Weather (FOR TOMORROW) All powerful and ever living God, we find security in your forgiveness.
