United Launch Alliance officials are now saying that after scrubbing their fourth attempt to launch a spy satellite from Vandenberg Air Force Base Wednesday night, the earliest it will be rescheduled for is December 30th.
The Delta IV rocket launch had been set for 5:44 Wednesday night, and was bumped to 5:49 p.m. before being cancelled due to a technical issue.
Two previous launch efforts were cancelled due to technical problems, and another due to high wind conditions.
Even though the payload is secret, the launch has generated a lot of interest because it's expected it will be visible throughout the Central and South Coasts, as well as much of the state.
