Thursday’s (Dec. 4) attempt at launching NASA’s Orion Exploration Flight Test-1 (EFT-1) was scrubbed after problems were found with the mission’s Delta 4 Heavy rocket. The historic liftoff was delayed a day to troubleshoot some of the Delta’s propellant fill-and-drain valves, which failed to close when commanded. The Orion launch will mark the first time in more than 40 years that a NASA capsule designed for a crew has flown in space.
