A press kit for this mission is finally available!
I took this during last night's pad visit - they have better lights now at pad. We went vertical about 8pm, and everything looks good for tonight's launch. While no landing, I'm told there should still be some good video on the way down to "water landing". #GoIridium-4!
My bad. I was wrong about the video, there will NOT be video from the first stage on the way down - focus will be on the second stage through to satellite deployment (MY favorite part...). Sorry to get you all excited about some sort of “splash cam”. Probably too dark anyway!
Something a little new this time with airspace restrictions for this launch. There is a TFR posted downrange from the launch as an extension to the active warning area (W-537). This hasn't been the case with any of the earlier Iridium launches this year. I'll ask the question over on the discussion thread, but is there any difference in launch azimuth this time around?
Arriving VAFB; high light cirrus clouds. All is still go for launch with less that 2 hours to go...
