United Launch Alliance’s Altas V saw a second attempt to launch the first of five U.S. Navy’s Mobile User Objective System (MUOS) satellites from SLC-41 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station (CCAFS) scrubbed on Friday due to unaccepable weather conditions. ULA have decided to rollback the vehicle, and target a third attempt No Earlier Than (NET) Wednesday.

Yes that is the second of the proposed launchings  due to the weather. Trust all will be well on Wednesday for them.
