The planned launch of the STP-3 rocket was canceled after a leak was discovered in the ground system. ULA representatives explained on the weekend that fixing the leak and making sure that the system is working resulted in a 48 hour delay.
The history of rockets.
The Department of Defense's Space Test Program sponsors most of the technology-demonstrating satellites that will be launched by STP 3. We know a bit about a few of the classified ones.
The larger of the two satellites, called STPSat6, has a NASA laser-communication system and a National Nuclear Security Administration payload that is designed to detect the detonation of nuclear bombs from space.
A busy three-day stretch in spaceflight begins with the launch of the STP3. The International Space Station is scheduled to be launched early Wednesday morning by a Russian rocket with billionaire Yusaku Maezawa and two other people on board.
Blue Origin's NS-19 space tourism mission will be launched on Thursday, along with the launch of NASA's X-ray polarimetry Explorer satellite. Good Morning America host and former NFL star Michael Strahan and Laura Shepard Churchley, the oldest daughter of Alan Shepard, will be going to suborbital space with six other people.
