The Air Force has confirmed it will be ready to support a Thursday afternoon launch of a classified national security satellite [floridatoday.com]from Cape Canaveral.

The mission first rolled to the Launch Complex 41 pad on March 24. That same day, an electrical short at the eastern range caused a small fire. The fire disabled Air Force tracking radar which enables the destruction of a rocket if it veers off course.
