Upper Level Winds Postpone Delta II Launch of ARGOS Satellite
VANDENBERG AIR FORCE BASE, Calif., Jan. 27, 1999 -- Officials have scrubbed the launch of a Boeing Delta II expendable launch vehicle carrying the ARGOS spacecraft for the U.S. Air Force due to upper level winds.
The Air Force will make another launch attempt of the Boeing-built ARGOS spacecraft on Thursday, Jan. 28 at 2:35:33 a.m. PST.
The ARGOS launch has two NASA-sponsored secondary payloads, the Ørsted satellite for Denmark and the SUNSAT micro-satellite for South Africa.
