A United Launch Alliance Delta IV Heavy rocket is scheduled to launch tonight from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station but a technical glitch will keep the vehicle from blasting off on time.
Liftoff had been set for 7:33 p.m. We'll update the blog when a new liftoff time is set. Tonight's launch window extends through 11:33 p.m.
The 24-story rocket will be blasting off from Launch Complex 37 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station.
