CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) - The launch of a rocket carrying intelligence-gathering technology for the Defense Department was postponed Thursday for a day.
Officials delayed it until 11:04 a.m. Friday because of problems with a safety mechanism that destroys the rocket in case of malfunction, Air Force spokesman Ken Warren said.
The payload is from the National Reconnaissance Office, a division of the Pentagon that builds and operates spy satellites for agencies such as the Defense Department and CIA.
