Delta II Launch nears 8:59 am EDT Cape Launch
The Delta II launch team is not working any technical issues as they march toward an 8:59 am EDT target launch time - the final minute of a one hour launch window - this morning.
Rain and cumulus clouds in the Cape Canaveral region forced the launch team to delay the launch due to liquid oxygen fueling which cannot be loaded during a rain storm. At 8:04 am EDT, the launch team completed the loading of the LO2 following a one hour delay.
At 8:14 am, there is a small cumulus cloud 10 miles to the northeast of the pad the launch team was watching.
