ULA delays Vulcan Leo 1 to Nov. 14 after a nitrogen-plant outage
United Launch Alliance scrubbed Vulcan Leo 1 on Nov. 13 and moved liftoff to Saturday, Nov. 14, at 12:32:30 p.m. EST (1732:30 UTC). Space.com quoted a ULA post that the vehicle and spacecraft are healthy after a power issue at a gaseous-nitrogen factory, and WZDX reported that ULA named the Air Liquide plant and the loss of its high-pressure pumps. The rocket, set to carry 40 Amazon Leo satellites, had not launched, and the Nov. 10 mission page still listed a Nov. 13 window opening at 12:54 p.m. EST.
