This just in from NASA's virt. launch center:
"10:39 a.m. - The weather is green at this time and should remain so. If we were to delay until tomorrow there would be a 30% chance of a weather constraint. "

They have launched a 3-solids Atlas V, it's not that big a performance hike really. smile.gif

It might be the biggest ILS launch, but Lo-Mart (the major player of ILS) used to do Titan's did they not - some of them were very very big.

Are they all ground lit solids?

If not, what's the sequence 3 then 2?
If so, then it's not that different.

Yes they are all ground lit solid rocket boosters...

From Spaceflight Now:

QUOTE
Today's launch window extends from 1:08 to 3:07 p.m. EST. However, there will be two points in time in which liftoff cannot occur because the rocket's trajectory would take it too close another object already in space. Those Collision Avoidance blackout periods, or COLAs, are 1:20 and 2:55 p.m. EST


Any ideas what the object(s) are?

It could be anything, active satellites, debris, upper stages, etc etc.

Just to confim, yes, all 5 solids are ground-start.

Thanks Doug
BTW can you confirm my post (question) on "Hubble Versus Keck" topic?
It would really mean a lot to me if somebody can... unsure.gif

Harder is on line, all systems go here.
Last weather report fr Spaceflightnow was 1 hr ago - no problems. Is our own anchor person for weather updates from Florida already on line (MahFL)? I appreciated the regular wind updates a lot 2 days ago.
