No word on when a new attempt will be... Not sure why they scrubbed... That seemed to come out of nowhere

That was a terse, depressed sounding scrub announcement from launch control...
Webcast indicated whatever caused the scrub had been in work for a while...

"Due to a technical concern" is all they are saying.

Man, the final planned commercial launch of the Delta II and the final flight of Space Shuttle Discovery both in the same week... not for weak eyed. 
Tying that sentiment with Art's last post. Truly a sad moment. Great vehicle.
Sad, but not quite the end. One more to go- which I hope to see depart in Sep 2011. I'll miss the Delta II when it's finally gone.
Is that yet to be manifested? The commerical world's version of STS-135?
Important to know, given the headline I gave the launch preview.
NPP.

Ah ok. Last scheduled
commercial launch is what we had. We know abotut NPP and GRAIL.

Hmm, scrub would have been about the time of FTS or steering checks.

Delta II COSMO - SkyMed 4 Mission Rescheduled for Nov. 1
Vandenberg AFB, Calif., (Oct. 31, 2010) - The launch of Delta II COSMO-SkyMed 4 (Constellation of Small Satellites for Mediterranean basin Observation) mission has been rescheduled for Monday, Nov. 1 with a launch time of 7:20 p.m. PDT. During the terminal launch countdown Sunday, an engine section heater did not operate properly. The heater is designed to keep the Delta II’s engine components warm during the fueling of the rocket prior to flight.
To allow engineers the time required to correct this issue, the scheduled Sunday launch attempt was delayed 24 hours. Updates to the COSMO SkyMed-4 mission status will be issued as new information becomes available. United Launch Alliance provides the Delta II launch vehicle and mission services under a commercial launch service contract administered by Boeing Launch Services for Thales Alenia Space-Italia (TAS-I).
