2019 HPS Annual Meeting: Watch for the Atlas V Rocket Launch
Attendees of the 2019 Health Physics Society Annual Meeting in Orlando might get a chance to see a rocket launch while in Florida. The United Launch Alliance (ULA) Atlas V rocket carrying the AEHF-5 mission for the US Air Force Space and Missile Systems Center is delayed, due to a vehicle battery failure discovered during final processing. Additional time is needed for the technical team to complete the evaluation of the issue and replace the battery. Launch of the AEHF-5 mission is now targeted for no earlier than Tuesday, 9 July 2019. Watch the AEHF-5 website for live updates.
