ULA’s Rocket Launch Aborted Just 3 Seconds Before Liftoff – Interesting Engineering
United Launch Alliance’s rocket launch on August 29th was aborted a mere three seconds before it was due to liftoff. It’s still unclear exactly what went wrong, but another launch could happen in a week’s time.
United Launch Alliance’s (ULA) Delta 4 Heavy rocket remains grounded even though it was due to launch up to the skies on August 29th.
Just three seconds before liftoff from Cape Canaveral, the entire thing was called off as the rocket’s initiators caught flames, per 24LiveBlog. The NROL-44 mission carrying a secret National Reconnaissance Office payload will have to wait before it jets off into space.
