Looked foggy enough to have been launched from Chris’s front lawn... Seriously, congrats and well done to all the teams!
We should hear pretty soon on this mission as regards deployment as it's not a GEO payload?

The Centaur will then have to make another burn before CubeSat deployment.

No real impact on launch as we saw or didn’t see…
