AEHF 2 launch delayed

The launch of US Air Forces AEHF 2 communications satellite was postponed on 3 May due to a problem with the helium flow during the purge of the Centaur interstage adapter prior to launch. This was most probably caused by a misconfiguration of a manually operated valve. Launch has been rescheduled for 4 May with a launch window of 1842 - 2042 GMT.

Or in other words, someone forgot to switch a tap on. Innocent Smileys

I have read some good stuff here. Definitely worth bookmarking for revisiting. I wonder how much effort you put to create such a excellent informative site.

hi there, i believe your site might be having web browser compatibility issues. when i take a look at your web site in safari, it looks fine but when opening in i.e., it's got some overlapping issues. i simply wanted to provide you with a quick heads up! aside from that, fantastic website!
