The Air Force and United Launch Alliance are now targeting a Sunday night launch of a Global Positioning System satellite atop a Delta IV rocket, after Friday's first attempt scrubbed because of a spacecraft telemetry problem.
The issue couldn't be resolved in time to try a Saturday launch, as was hoped immediately after the scrub.
The targeted launch time Sunday is 11:17 p.m., the opening of an 18-minute window at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station's Launch Complex 37.

The launch attempt of the United Launch Alliance Delta IV with the Air Force's Global Positioning System IIF SV-1 satellite (GPS IIF SV-1) is rescheduled for Sunday, May 23.
Mission managers expect the telemetry signal issue between the Global Positioning System satellite and the satellite ground support equipment that caused the scrub of Friday's launch attempt to be resolved in time for a launch attempt Sunday.
The Delta IV rocket and GPS IIF SV-1 satellite are safe and secure at this time. Sunday's launch window is 11:17-11:35 p.m. EDT. The weather forecast calls for a 70 percent chance of acceptable weather during the launch window.
