Hi,

According to Reuters:

An unmanned Delta II rocket carrying a $40 million U.S. Air Force navigational satellite exploded on Friday just after blastoff, scattering flaming debris and sending billowing smoke for miles at about 11:28am EST, about 13 seconds after lift off.

This year the Delta is slated to launch several satellites
for the Iridium project.

A spokesman for Iridium LLC said Friday's explosion would
delay the launch that had been planned for Monday. It is
industry practice not to launch another rocket after an
explosion until the investigation produces results.
