The Range problem gets resolved and the countdown resumes for liftoff of the United Launch Alliance Atlas 5 rocket with the Navy’s MUOS 3 mobile communications satellite.
The Atlas 5 rocket emerges from the Vertical Integration Facility for rollout to Complex 41 at Cape Canaveral in preparation to launch MUOS No. 3 Tuesday evening.
The massive U.S. Navy communications satellite launched from Cape Canaveral two weeks ago has completed prescribed maneuvers to reach geosynchronous orbit and successfully unfurled its umbrella-like antenna reflectors.
