KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. - Perching on a pole in the Indian River Lagoon, an osprey clutches his most recent catch. In the background is Launch Complex 37 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida, where the Delta IV rocket with the GOES-N satellite is poised for launch. The GOES-N is the latest in a series of Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellites providing continuous monitoring necessary for intensive data analysis. The GOES-N launch was delayed due to last minute technical issues and postponed to a later date.
