Firing at the last second of their preset window, United Launch Alliance launched the Atlas V rocket, designated AV-049, from Cape Canaveral Sept. 16, 2014, deploying a satellite thousands of miles above Earth. Lightening and heavy cloud cover delayed the liftoff nearly two and a half hours but couldn't stop this mission from carrying a QuikScat Earth payload, called CLIO for an undisclosed agency of the United States government, into orbit.
