In this photo released by the U.S. Air Force shows a wildfire burning at a central California Air Force base on Sunday, September 18, 2016, that forced the postponement of a satellite launch at Vandenberg Air Force Base, Calif. An Atlas 5 rocket was to carry a satellite known as WorldView-4 into orbit from Vandenberg Air Force Base. The satellite is designed to produce high-resolution images of Earth from space. The fire burning in a remote canyon didn't immediately threaten the space launch complex, Col. Paul Nosek said on the base's Facebook page. Nearly 800 firefighters were trying to corral the fire that was slightly less than a square mile in size. No new date was set for the launch, Lt. William Collette said.
