    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
    
    1 July 2010
    SBSS Launch Delayed
    
    LOS ANGELES AIR FORCE BASE, El Segundo, Calif. - The launch of the
    Space-Based Space Surveillance (SBSS) spacecraft planned for 8 July 2010,
    has been delayed pending resolution of a test anomaly associated with
    another Minotaur IV launch vehicle undergoing test in the factory.
    
    The testing identified a software issue that is being assessed for
    implications to the SBSS mission.  The integrated government and contractor
    team is accessing the cause of the software anomaly and potential corrective
    actions and expects to establish a new launch date as early as next week.
