Summary[edit]

Description
English: The mobile service tower moves away from the Delta II rocket with NASA's NOAA-N Prime satellite aboard on the Space Launch Complex 2 at Vandenberg Air Force Base in California. The launch of the NOAA-N Prime weather satellite was scrubbed at 5 a.m. EST Feb. 3 when a launch pad gaseous nitrogen pressurization system failed. This system maintains pressurization and purges to various systems of the Delta II rocket prior to launch. Immediate repair to this system was being taken. The next launch attempt will be no earlier than 5:22 a.m. EST Feb. 5, weather permitting. NOAA-N Prime is the latest polar-orbiting operational environmental weather satellite developed by NASA for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
