An Atlas 5 sits through stormy weather on Friday. (ULA)Low clouds, high winds and rain scrubbed today's planned launch of an Atlas rocket which is to carry an unmanned military mini space shuttle.
The launch team is now in a 24-hour launch turn around as they try again on Saturday at 4:09 p.m. EST.
The weather forecast is not as promising for Saturday with only a 30% chance of favorable weather at launch time.
As the final minutes of a two hour launch window neared, the launch team took one final poll and the range stated they were no-go due to the weather over Cape Canaveral.
