"Vandenberg Air Force Base, Calif., (Feb. 4, 2009) - The next launch attempt for the NOAA-N Prime weather satellite for NASA and NOAA aboard a United Launch Alliance Delta II rocket is rescheduled for tonight. The problem with the launch pad gaseous nitrogen pressurization system which caused the first launch attempt to scrub was identified as a failed relay card. The relay card at the launch pad has been removed and replaced and the new card has been tested. The launch window for tonight is 2:22-2:32 a.m. PST. The weather forecast has improved somewhat with a 60 percent chance of not meeting the launch weather criteria, primarily due to thick clouds."

The weather was perfect last night all down the coast. Launching conditions were great and so were viewing conditions. Hopefully if it is able to launch tonight we will be able to see it!
