DENVER (AP) -- The countdown is under way for the launch of a satellite carrying a Colorado experiment.
The missile being launched on Monday is carrying the Operational Land Imager built by Ball Aerospace & Technologies Corp. in Boulder.
The satellite will support monitoring of coastal waters and detect previously hard to see cirrus clouds that could affect monitoring of the Earth's surface.
