Atlas V Launches WorldView-4
ULA's Atlas V rocket is set to make its comeback mission from California after a year-long break and a lengthy delay to this mission caused by a massive wildfire at Vandenberg Air Force Base. Lifting off from California's Central Coast, Atlas V will be tasked with a 14-minute climb to orbit to deliver the WorldView-4 Commercial Earth-Imaging Satellite followed by a two-hour secondary mission to deploy seven small Cube Sats.
