US Schedules Saturday Morning Launch for New Spy Satellite - Reconnaissance Office

WASHINGTON (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 19th January, 2019) A United Launch Alliance Delta IV Heavy rocket is slated to send the newest US spy satellite into orbit from the Vandenberg Air Force Base in California on Saturday, the National Reconnaissance Office announced in a press release.

"Weather forecasters from the Air Force's 30th Weather Squadron predict a 70 percent chance of favorable conditions for launch, the release stated on Friday. "The only concern for a launch weather rule violation will be winds."

United Launch Alliance will provide a live webcast of Saturday's countdown and the 11:05 a.m. launch (22:05 GMT), ending the broadcast when the rocket jettisons the payload fairing about 6 minutes after liftoff, the release said.
