Secretive Air Force space plane ready for Tuesday liftoff


Secretive Air Force space plane ready for Tuesday liftoff

begin partial quote:
The OTV-3 flight had been delayed for several months due to an accident investigation board looking into why a Delta 4 rocket's RL-10B-2 upper stage engine did not perform as expected on Oct. 4 during a launch that successfully orbited a Global Positioning System 2F-3 satellite.

One possible reason that the rocket did not perform correctly on October 4th is I think that might have been the date that the Solar Flare that also hit me While flying back from Hawaii on the 8th originated from the sun.
If I remember correctly this is when the Flare started its journey to Earth and it's magnetosphere.
