VANDENBERG AIR FORCE BASE, Calif. (AP) -- NASA scrubbed the launch of the Aura atmospheric research satellite for a fourth time Wednesday after a problem developed in a rocket battery system.
A "red alarm" prompted the launch team to call a halt three minutes before the planned 3:02 a.m. launch, NASA said.

After the battery problem developed Wednesday, launch manager Chuck Dovale said the next delay could be more than 24 hours because of a possible tropical storm developing off the coast of Mexico. Such a storm could prevent a support aircraft from tracking the launch.

Now you all can get some sleep! :-)
