A rocket carrying an intelligence-gathering payload for the US Department of Defense launched successfully, a day after technical problems caused a delay.
The Thursday attempt of the Atlas V rocket was delayed because of problems with the safety mechanism that destroys the rocket in case of malfunction.
The rocket is hauling a payload from the National Reconnaissance Office, a division of the Department of Defense that builds and operates spy satellites.
