Watch It Live: Delta Reset For 6:51 PM Launch


LIVE IMAGES: The images above are from NASA TV (left) and a live video feed at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station (right), where the Delta IV rocket and a new weather satellite are poised for launch. They will refresh to the most up-to-the-minute image every 30 seconds.

BLOGGER NOTE, 6:40 p.m.: The range has gone green on all weather launch commit criteria. Launch team is ready to pick up the countdown.

A new launch time of 6:51 p.m. has been set for the Delta IV rocket and a new national weather satellite. A thunderstorm swept within 10 miles of the Launch Complex 37 and now is headed out into the Atlantic Ocean. Mission managers expect weather to be green by the 6:51 p.m. T-Zero. The launch window tonight extends through 7:14 p.m.

You can watch it live here in The Flame Trench. Simply click the NASA TV box at the righthand side of this page to launch our NASA TV viewer and be sure to refresh this page for updates.
