A United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket and missile warning satellite are ready for their planned blastoff from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station at 2:14 p.m. Friday.
Managers determined all systems were "go" during a Launch Readiness Review this morning. A review of the Eastern Range's readiness to support the launch was to follow.
The weather forecast is promising during Friday's 40-minute launch window, which closes at 2:54 p.m.
Air Force meteorologists predict a 70 percent chance of favorable weather conditions, with a possibility of heavy cloud cover. The forecast improves to 80 percent "go" on Saturday, if needed.
The 189-foot-tall rocket is scheduled to roll from its vertical hangar to the pad at Launch Complex 41 at 10 a.m. Thursday.
