[Launch Alert] Launch Preparations Under Way

[Launch Alert]

Preparations are under way for today's launch of a Delta IV rocket from Vandenberg AFB. However, liftoff may not occur at the announced 1:00 p.m. PST launch time due to a technical issue.

For countdown status and a video feed of the launch, go to:

If the sky is clear, the early portion of the launch should be visible for more than 100 miles. To see the launch from outlying areas, you will need to determine exactly where to look and have an unobstructed horizon.

Because of a lack of time, I will not be able to respond to questions about this launch from individual Launch Alert readers.
