For the second time in two days the usual Florida summer afternoon storm moved across Cape Canaveral causing the cancellation of the launch of a United Launch Alliance Delta IV rocket poised to carry a suite of satellites into orbit for the U.S. Air Force Space Command. Learn about the mission in a previous post.


Space Launch Complex 37 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station where the Delta IV rocket waits patiently on the pad is about to get hit hard by the storm.
