Boeing engineers have given the Delta II rocket a clean bill of health, stating that "unusual temperature sensor readings observed during the previous two launch attempts were primarily the result of higher temperature pressurization rates and are not indicative of any defect in the sensor. The sensor does not require replacement and can fly as is." Another launch attempt is set for Friday morning at 10:02 UTC, with the weather forecast showing some ground fog and low visibility but nevertheless acceptable conditions.
