This Thursday, United Launch Alliance (ULA) will be kicking off its launch schedule here on the Space Coast with the flight of the Atlas V rocket. Liftoff is currently set for 7:40pm, but heavy cloud cover for most of this week may cause a delay. The mission will carry the 4th installment of the SBIRS satellite constellation into position. The SBIRS satellites are a part of the US military’s early missile detection system. Thursday’s weather forecast indicates heavy cloud cover and a strong breeze going into the evening hours.
