After four straight days of scrubbed launch attempts, a Delta IV rocket launched Monday from the Space Coast.
The rocket took off from the launch pad at Complex 37 at the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station at 7:28 p.m.

The 65-minute window opened at 6:43 p.m., but a phase 2 lightning warning at the pad forced launch officials to push back the launch 45 minutes.
The rocket was carrying a pair of twin satellites and a micro satellite for the U.S. Air Force.
The launch, which was originally set for July 23, was delayed initially because of a problem with a ground control environmental system item.
It was then delayed three more times because of weather conditions.
