Vandenberg Air Force Base, Calif. - The launch of a Delta II rocket
carrying the Aquarius/SAC-D payload for NASA is being postponed 24
hours to allow the launch team to complete additional review of an
inconsistency found in the Delta II launch vehicle flight profile for
wind conditions on the day of launch. These data are used to steer
the Delta II through upper level winds.

The launch is rescheduled for Friday, June 10 from Space Launch
Complex-2 at Vandenberg Air Force Base, Calif. The opening of the
5-minute launch window is 7:20 a.m. PDT. The forecast for June 10
shows a 100 percent chance of favorable weather conditions for the
launch.
