The original launch date was Wednesday, but was pushed back until Thursday due to weather.

Officials with the ULA stated that they will try again on Friday, January 12, 2018 at 2:11 p.m. PST.

The launch was originally set for Wednesday, January 10, but moved due to weather.

The vehicle will launch the classified NROL-47 payload for the U.S. National Reconnaissance Office.

Delta IV will use two solid rocket motors when it is launched.
