01-Aug-07 | Phoenix delayed by 24 hours
The launch of Phoenix, the next Mars lander, has been delayed by 24 hours until Saturday, 4 August. As happened with Dawn in early July, a forecast of severe weather yesterday afternoon caused fuelling of the Delta second stage to be postponed until this morning, Wednesday, 1 August. Two instantaneous liftoff opportunities are available on Saturday morning: 5:26:34 a.m. and 6:02:59 a.m. EDT.
