GeoEye-1 Launch Delayed Again...but only briefly

Remote Sensing

The launch of GeoEye-1 from Vandenburg Air Force Base, originally scheduled for August 22, has been delayed to September 4. According to information released by GeoEye, "This added time is needed to allow for the positioning of resources to support receipt of down-range telemetry from the Delta II booster vehicle after launch and initial flight from Vandenberg Air Force Base, California."

The Washington Post gave a different reason for the delay: "The United Launch Alliance, a venture run by Boeing and Lockheed Martin to manage the launch of satellites into space using rockets manufactured by the companies, said that a government satellite needed to be sent up ahead of GeoEye-1 for national security purposes."
