For the space fans out there

The launch team is now planning to come out of the current T-4 minute hold at 10:50 a.m. EDT, aiming for a liftoff at 10:54 a.m. The recycle of the launch vehicle went smoothly after the hold was called due to weather.

CNN has a live feed of the launch also.

Heh... I heard it got delayed a second time because a cargo transport was within range offshore.

Bet they woulda had one heluva show.

I'm going to bet they scrub it today anyway, its not looking to good with the weather.

SteamWake · 10-27-09, 10:25 AM

Thats what I was wondering its been overcast and raining since last night here and Im only a couple hundred miles from the space coast and assume the weather there is about the same.

Oberon · 10-27-09, 10:25 AM

Looks like you're right, launch is scrubbed for today.

SteamWake · 10-27-09, 11:14 AM

Dont know what their turn around time is but the weather is supposed to be overcast with rain for the next couple of days.

Its all because I cleaned my telescope

Its like the wash your car thing! See what happens when you clean your scope!

I really hope that this test goes well once they get it off the ground...things could be very bad if this test does not work out.

longam · 10-28-09, 10:08 AM

Possible launch at 11:20. Last chance anyway.

SteamWake · 10-28-09, 10:16 AM

The rain has abated at least in the early hours of the day. It is still overcast.

We had one hellua storm come through here yesterday but they usually wait till late afternoon.

Perhaps they will get off this time.

Oberon · 10-28-09, 10:34 AM

Up she goes!

Oberon · 10-28-09, 10:37 AM

Seperation looked spectacular.

Oberon · 10-28-09, 10:38 AM

Down she comes...

Oberon · 10-28-09, 10:40 AM

Looks like the chute has deployed good. Upper stage water impact.

All in all, looks like a good launch. Well done NASA
