CAPE CANAVERAL AIR FORCE STATION, Fla. — The United Launch Alliance Delta IV Heavy launch was scrubbed Saturday just seconds before liftoff. The ULA Delta IV Heavy was carrying the NROL-44 mission for the National Reconnaissance Office.

According to officials, the launch was scrubbed due to an unexpected condition during terminal count at approximately three seconds before liftoff.

It will be a minimum of seven days before the ULA team can attempt another launch of the United Launch Alliance Delta IV Heavy rocket.

ULA has successfully delivered 140 missions to orbit that provide Earth observation capabilities, enable global communications, unlock the mysteries of our solar system and support lifesaving technology.
