The planned Central Coast launch of a satellite intended to help us improve monitoring of climate change has been postponed for more than a week.
The Sentinel-6 satellite had been set for liftoff from Vandenberg Air Force base for November 10th.
The launch is being delayed 11 days until November 21st, so SpaceX can deal with engine issues with its Falcon-9 rocket.
The joint U.S.-European project is intended to provide the latest in a series of Earth observation satellites to monitor global warming. It will allow more accurate tracking of things like sea level rise and ocean current movement.
