United Launch Alliance has decided to postpone the launch of the Atlas V rocket, which will deliver two US military satellites into low Earth orbits.

And she said in her statement that “the rocket was to be launched from the Cape Canaveral Space Base in Florida on the evening of Thursday, June 30, at 18:00 EST (Friday morning, July 1, at 01:00). However, after an hour and a half wait due to a thunderstorm that hit the launch area, the specialists decided to postpone the operation, and it is likely that the re-launch will be undertaken a day later than the previously scheduled date.

The rocket will launch a Wide-field of View (WFOV) satellite equipped with infrared sensors that will provide the US military with high-resolution images of the Earth, and the USSF-12 Ring satellite, the details of which its work has not been clearly disclosed.
