The SpaceX rocket launch of the deep space climate observatory, or "DSCOVR," has once again been delayed.

Originally scheduled to blast off yesterday, the launch was called off due to issues with a first stage transmitter and a range finder. The launch scheduled for today was postponed until tomorrow at 6:05 pm EST due to unfavorable weather conditions. The launch of the Falcon 9 rocket and its NOAA payload represents the commercial space agency's first deep-space mission. According to founder Elon Musk, the mission will take the company four times further from the Earth than the moon.Such distance introduces new elements of difficulty to the mission, Musk said. Reentry into Earth's atmosphere will introduce twice the force and four times as much heat. The DSCOVR mission will orbit between the Earth and the sun and monitor solar winds. These solar winds are surges of particles and magnetic fields known as "coronal mass ejection," and can wreak havoc on "power grids, telecommunications, aviation and GPS."
