There will be no rocket launch from Wallops Island Flight Facility tomorrow.
NASA managers have scrubbed the launch and it is being rescheduled no earlier than Sunday.
The agency is testing an inflatable heat shield technology.
The one day delay is to allow for additional testing of vehicle launch systems.
NASA has three consecutive days for a launch with a liftoff window from 6 a.m. to 8 a.m.
The rocket will be visible to residents in the Wallops and southern Chesapeake Bay region.
