Cape Canaveral AFS, Florida. (Mar. 4, 2011) - The launch attempt of the United Launch Alliance Atlas V with the Air Force’s second Orbital Test Vehicle was scrubbed today for weather. Thick cumulus clouds, which could produce triggered lightning, were within 10 miles of Space Launch Complex-41 during the scheduled launch windows. This is a launch criteria violation.
