KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, Fla. —
The launching of a $30-million Delta 2 rocket carrying a $65-million Global Positioning System military navigation satellite was postponed Saturday for the second day by bad weather.
A third launching attempt was scheduled for Monday.
The Navstar satellite is the ninth in a planned network of such spacecraft that ultimately will allow military forces on the ground, at sea and in the air to determine their location and altitude to within 53 feet anywhere in the world.
