A United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket carrying the SBIRS GEO Flight 5 missile-warning satellite for the U.S. Space Force lifts off from Space Launch Complex 41 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida on May 18, 2021. (Image credit: United Launch Alliance)
The mission, called Space-Based Infrared System Geosynchronous Earth Orbit Flight 5 (SBIRS Geo-5), was delayed 24 hours after an issue cropped up during fueling operations on Monday (May 17).
That delay came after the launch team pushed back the target launch time earlier in the countdown, as part of a collision avoidance maneuver to ensure the rocket would not fly close to an object already in orbit. (ULA never specified what object they were trying to avoid.)
