The launch of a United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket has been delayed until at least Wednesday. The rocket is set to carry a national security payload for the National Reconnaissance Office.
The delay over the weekend was caused after engineers noticed a problem with an environmental control system duct that failed to connect to the mobile launch platform. The aircraft will be rolled back to the Vertical Integration Facility where the faulty duct will be removed and replaced, said the United Launch Alliance in a press release. The rocket will still launch from the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida.
