...

radio silence for a while now

how hard is it to replace a launch pin?

It is telling them that the pin wasn't pulled when it was or something.

Fucken faulty relays

...

Haha wtf is this music

"the team is discussing an option forward"

damn that chess set looks disgusting

its gonna get scrubbed lads

...

>its gonna get scrubbed lads

...

this wait

so spacex launched NROL-76 on monday and it did something weird. coincidence? I think not. Also check out the patch for this one, that knight looks ready to deus vult some shit.

...

which Delta IV variant is this? small, medium, heavy?

I don't want to miss a launch, but I'd really hate to miss an anomaly.

...

please launch

Aw Come On Already!!!

>Update in the near future

Holy shit, I've been waiting a full hour for this shit.

...

...

its the Delta IV M+(5,2) variant. last flight of this variant, actually

...

>recommendation to lower yellow limit on temperature

the 5 means it has 5 meter payload area and the 2 means it uses 2 graphite-epoxy motor booster addons, pictured here.

you can see the two boosters on either side here

Is the rocket OK lads? Why is it paused at T Minus 4?

>a golf cart

the first stage of the delta IV uses the RS-68 engine, designed and manufactured by Aerojet Rocketdyne, a california based firm.

Now they are changing the temps settings for the alarms.

what's this 12-F business?

Space launches would be far more exciting if they just launched them without the safety checks.

lower limit acceptable launch temperature, sounded like

the second stage uses a RL10 engine, also built by Aerojet Rocketdyne

Well shit, my time is up.

sounds like they dont want to reveal the possible launch windows

According to spaceflightnow.com:

"The exact duration of today's launch window is not public, but the launch period could extend as late as 5:15 p.m. PST (8:15 p.m. EST; 0115 GMT)."

sunset is at about 5. Will make for a really nice show

Ah, I'm back. I see I missed nothing.

LAUNCH TEAM HAS WORKED THROUGH THE ISSUES

>event 30 and 31

what does it mean?????

...

swing arm pegs, those are the things that caused the abort earlier

this intro is pretty groovy

That video was so out of place. kek

Almost a 2 hour wait now.

>new time "4:05 pacific time"

so like 15-20ish mins or something?

What happens if they launch when the swing arms won't move?

If part of the rocket clips the swing arm, it will fuck up majorly and land on someone.

the whole earth gets launched into space.
