NASA is postponing the rollout of its Orion spacecraft.
NASA announced Monday evening that the Delta IV Heavy rocket carrying the test capsule will not go to the launch pad because of weather. The rollout has been rescheduled for 8:30 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 11.
The rocket was set to roll out of the Launch Abort System Facility at the Kennedy Space Center Monday to its launch pad at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station's Space Launch Complex 37.
NASA has targeted Dec. 4 for the first test flight of Orion.
Tickets for launch viewing at the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex are available online. Admission is $50 for adults and $40 for children. Launch transportation costs an additional $20 per person.
The uncrewed flight test will take the spacecraft 3,600 miles above Earth on a more than four hour flight to test many of the systems critical for future human missions into deep space.
NASA says after two orbits and 60,000 miles, Orion will re-enter Earth's atmosphere at almost 20,000 mph before its parachute system deploys to slow the spacecraft for a splashdown in the Pacific Ocean. On future missions, the Orion spacecraft will help carry astronauts farther into the solar system than ever before, including to an asteroid and Mars.
