Indeed......the weather looks much better and the forecast for launch time sounds good to. Let's hope the clouds hold off so we can view as much of the ascent as possible.

I love these launches where the coverage starts right after sunrise. Simply beautiful. I've got my fingers crossed that the improved conditions today will be enough.

Nasa TV: 40% for violation of wind constraint. Weather is the only issue for the moment.

We could still make it. But the wind is picking up. But they think they could still launch today.

It's ashame the launch window opened so late. An hour ago would have been perfect.

Agree, but I think they will try for the opening of the window. Weather briefing soon. Hoping for the best.
