Update for 12:01 a.m. EDT

Boeing is inside five hours to the launch of a Delta 2 rocket destined to carry four
Globalstar communications satellites into low-Earth orbit. Officials hope this third
attempt to launch the mission will be the charm. For the past two straight days,
unfavorable upper level winds above 20,000 feet have caused the launch to be
scrubbed.

At Cape Canaveral Air Station's launch pad 17B, the rocket stands ready in the
Florida darkness. Powerful floodlights illuminate the booster, which can be seen
for miles around.

Today's two launch windows will extend from 4:45:37 to 4:48:37 a.m. and
7:45:07 to 7:48:07 a.m. EDT. Officials will decide which window to use at around
3 a.m. EDT.

Air Force meteorologists say there is an 80 percent chance of good weather at the
ground level. The forecast does not include upper level winds, which cannot be
predicated accurately in advance.
