Rocket/Payload: Delta IV Heavy launching the U.S. Air Force’s DSP-23 satellite.
Date/Launch Time/Site: Nov. 10, with a launch window of 8:39 – 10:42 p.m. EST from Space Launch Complex-37B, Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Fla. If the launch slips, the next launch attempt is set for Nov. 11, 8:38 – 10:38 p.m. EST.
Description: The Northrop Grumman-built Defense Support Program (DSP) satellites have been the spaceborne segment of North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD’s) Tactical Warning and Attack Assessment System since 1970. DSP satellites use infrared sensors to detect heat from missile and booster plumes against the earth’s background. Air Force Defense Support Program satellites provide early detection and warning of missile launches and nuclear explosions to National Command Authorities and operational commands.
