Akatsuki and IKAROS launch scrubbed due to weather
The countdown for the planned launch of Akatsuki and IKAROS got to about four minutes before they decided to cancel the attempt due to weather, and I can't blame them:

There is no announced reattempt date yet. It won't be tomorrow, but that's all I know. I'll post an update when I do know.
