From spaceflightnow.com

0029 GMT (8:29 p.m. EDT Tues.)

SCRUB! With with a strong, persistent wind that makes retracting the launch pad service tower too risky tonight, officials have decided to postpone liftoff of the NOAA-N weather satellite aboard the Boeing Delta 2 rocket.

The launch has been pushed back 24 hours. A fresh countdown will target liftoff at 1022 GMT (6:22 a.m. EDT; 3:22 a.m. PDT) Thursday morning.

Oh well.

It scrubbed for Friday as well. Another 24hr slip. Apparently an electrical problem in the deluge system pumphouse.

Scrubbed again! Per NASA PAO:

"Launch of NASA's NOAA-N satellite aboard a Boeing Delta II rocket has been delayed again due to technical issues with the spacecraft. "

Launch now NET 19 May
