Love the first item on the pre-test checklist:

Pointy end up,
Flamey end down

ROFL

You either love or hate Tim's style, but I find him to be pretty amusing. (Note "check pants" as the last checklist item as well.)

All looks good for the crew launch. Weather is currently 60% go.

Nov. 13 Atlas 5 • NROL-101

Launch time: 2213 GMT (5:13 p.m. EST)

Launch site: SLC-41, Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Florida

A United Launch Alliance Atlas 5 rocket will launch a classified spacecraft payload for the U.S. National Reconnaissance Office. The rocket will fly in the 531 vehicle configuration with a five-meter fairing, three solid rocket boosters and a single-engine Centaur upper stage. The mission was changed from an earlier planned “551” configuration. This will be the first launch of an Atlas 5 rocket with new Northrop Grumman-built GEM-63 solid rocket motors, replacing the Aerojet Rocketdyne AJ-60A solid rocket motors used on previous Atlas 5s. Delayed from September, October, and Nov. 3. Scrubbed on Nov. 4 by valve issue on ground liquid oxygen system. Delayed from Nov. 6, Nov. 8, Nov. 11 and Nov. 12.

Hopefully they can get this bird to finally fly. I hope it doesn't mess up the Crew-1 launch tomorrow...

Though I don't know for sure, I have to imagine that the crew launch would take precedent. If Atlas doesn't go tonight, I think it gets delayed until next week.

I would think so too. Crew-1 has significant milestones and media concerns.

Is there a stream for NROL?

Their T-4 minute hold always weirds me out.


All times are GMT -6. The time now is 08:39 PM.
