NASA scheduled first test flight
of the US agency Orion to launch a new exploration capsule on Thursday morning,
but the weather conditions were worse and to launch a United Launch Alliance
Delta IV Heavy rocket rescheduled on Friday.
The team planned to launch on
Friday but the launch was same as on Thursday, with the aim as ever to try to
get away right at the start of the window on rescheduled time at 7:05 am ET.
“We'll go make sure we've got a
happy rocket and as soon as we do that we're going to get back to the pad and
send Orion off to a very, very successful test flight," said Dan Collins
from the Delta's operating company, United Launch Alliance.
NASA spent two and half hour on
launch due to many obstacles and first delay involved a boat that came too
close to the launched area after that more delays came because of wind guests.
“We haven't had this feeling in
awhile, since the end of the shuttle program," Mike Sarafin, Orion flight
director at Johnson Space Center, said in a preflight briefing on Wednesday.
