As with previous launches, if tonights lauch is scrubbed, then it could be re-scheduled for Saturday. If successful, this will be the 47th launch by an Atlas V since 2002.  The rocket was rolled to the launch pad Thursday morning.  08/01/2014

Okay Cape Canaveral watchers, it was announced that SpaceX and Orbcomm are now planning to launch a Falcon 9 rocket at 6:08 pm ET Friday from Cape Canaveral.  Six commercial satellites are also planned for the same launch. Originally the launch was planned for this past Sunday, but that was delayed in order to allow time to test one of the additional 6 satellites.  With weather being fickle on the Space Coast, Saturday has also been tagged as a backup launch date.   06/16/2014
