I thought it was time to start a separate thread on this mission, launching soon
some good medium-resolution images of the spacecraft are available on JAXA digital archives http://jda.jaxa.jp/jda/p3_e.php?time=N&...mp;mission=4066 |

I'd rather see a scrubbed launch than a failed launch like OCO. That was painful, watching the reactions of the team when they lost communications.
Brings to mind a question. When was the last time weather actually caused a launch failure on a significant mission? |

When was the last time weather actually caused a launch failure on a significant mission? There's the Atlas/Centaur-67 launch. I can't think of a more recent directly weather-induced failure. -------------------- |
