ULA delays launch of spy satellite for 3rd time; 2 more launches planned - FOX 35 Orlando

- United Launch Alliance (ULA) has delayed the launch of its Delta IV Heavy NROL-44 mission for the third time in two days. .

The space company said that while the rocket is ready for launch, they are taking extra precautions to ensure that all issues are resolved with the swing arm retraction system. .

The launch will now reportedly take place on Tuesday, September 29th from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station.

This is the third time that the launch has been postponed, as it was originally scheduled for Sunday, then Monday, and now Tuesday.

Tuesday is the same day that SpaceX plans to launch the U.S.

FOX 35 has reached out to see if the ULA delay will affect their launch schedule. .
