Poor weather delayed the Atlas V rocket launch early Thursday morning in the Space Coast.

An Atlas V rocket was set to launch just after 4 a.m. on Thursday.

United Launch Alliance is working on a 24-hour turn-around to launch the Atlas V rocket. It was scrubbed because of the grounds winds and rain out here.

Cape Canaveral experienced some gusty winds and heavy rain, on and off Thursday morning.

The winds forced ULA crews to delay fueling the rocket Thursday morning and the weather officer determined it just was not safe to proceed.

The rocket is carrying a top-secret satellite for the National Reconnaissance Office called NROL-52.

Not a lot is known about the payload, but the National Reconnaissance Office is in charge of the U.S. government’s spy satellites.

The new target time for the launch is 4:03 a.m., Friday. However, the forecast looks gloomy and there is only a 30 percent chance of favorable weather conditions for Friday's launch attempt.

If the launch is delayed anymore, it could impact a SpaceX launch, set for Saturday evening on the Space Coast.
