Countdown Resumes; Weather 100 Percent ‘Go’

The countdown has resumed and clocks are ticking down from the T-15 minute mark. There will be one more built-in hold at T-4 minutes. At that point, the clocks will pause for 10 minutes.

Launch Weather Officer Capt. Ross Malugani just briefed the launch team on weather and wind conditions. Weather is 100 percent “go” with no areas of concern, and upper-level winds are trending favorably at this point. Managers and controllers with United Launch Alliance, NASA and the Western Range will continue to monitor and assess conditions through the remainder of the countdown.

The launch time has been adjusted to 1:47:36 a.m. PST, right in the middle of today’s 66-second launch window.
