                   DELTA II/AURA LAUNCH WEDNESDAY

This morning's launch of NASA's Aura atmospheric chemistry satellite
from Vandenberg AFB was postponed due to a problem with the
spacecraft. Aura is now scheduled to lift-off from Space Launch
Complex 2 West aboard a Delta II rocket on July 14 at 03:01:59 PDT
(10:01:59 UTC), the start of a launch window that extends to 03:04:59
PDT (10:04:59 UTC).

The pre-dawn event may be visible to the naked eye for hundreds of
miles.
