Kennedy Space Center, Fla. — After launch tower retraction, the Boeing Delta II rocket carrying NASA's Mars Climate Orbiter undergoes final preparations for liftoff on Dec. 11, 1998, at Launch Complex 17A, Cape Canaveral Air Station. The launch was delayed one day when personnel detected a battery-related software problem in the spacecraft. The problem was corrected and the launch was rescheduled for the next day.
