Weather pushes Wallops rocket relaunch to Saturday

Relaunch? It's being launched again? Also, "launch pad chord" should be "launch pad cord."

WALLOPS ISLAND

A test launch of an unmanned rocket from Wallops Flight Facility has been tentatively rescheduled for 5 p.m. Saturday.

The launch originally was scheduled for Wednesday evening, but Orbital Sciences Corporation, a private company contracted by NASA that is handling the launch, postponed it a few minutes before 5 p.m. Today, a Wallops press release confirmed a separation of a launch pad chord used for data communications to the Antares rocket halted Wednesday’s launch.

NASA Television will begin live coverage of Saturday’s launch attempt beginning at 4:30 p.m.
