CAPE CANAVERAL AIR FORCE STATION, Fla. — An Atlas V rocket that was set to deliver a classified government satellite into orbit this week has been delayed again because of Hurricane Tropical Storm Eta.

The launch has been rescheduled multiple times: Strong winds scratched an attempt last Monday, then a ground system valve problem interrupted the countdown last Wednesday. It was then rescheduled for this past Sunday and then again for this coming Wednesday before being delayed yet another day.

Now, United Launch Alliance is targeting Friday, November 13, at 5:13 p.m. EST for the Atlas V launch from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station.

Eta is currently a category 1 hurricane moving closely along the Florida Gulf Coast, and is expected to make landfall near the Florida Big Bend on Thursday.

The payload aboard the Atlas V is the NROL-101, a classified satellite for the National Reconnaissance Office. No details are being released about it. It's United Launch Alliance's 29th mission for the government agency.

SpaceX, meanwhile, is targeting its second crewed launch for Saturday, November 14 from Kennedy Space Center. Crew-1 is the private space firm's first official crew rotation to the International Space Station, after a test launch called Demo-1 earlier this year delivered two NASA astronauts to the ISS in a dress rehearsal for Crew-1.

SpaceX also announced a cargo launch to the ISS in December. The first launch of an upgraded Dragon cargo capsule is targeted for no earlier than 12:50 p.m. EST December 2.
