Final preparations are underway for the planned launch of a Delta IV rocket carrying a spy satellite from Vandenberg Air Force Base Saturday morning

The final countdown is on for the launch of a rocket carrying a spy satellite from the Central Coast.

United Launch Alliance is set to launch the rocket from Vandenberg Air Force Base Saturday morning.

The Delta IV launch was postponed several times during the last few weeks due to technical and weather issues, but ULA officials say all appears to be on track for a planned 11:05 a.m. launch.  If the weather cooperates, the launch should be visible throughout the Central and South Coasts.
