How's the weather holding up?
Quote from: jsmjr on 04/21/2013 01:00 pmHow's the weather holding up?Satellite photos shows not a cloud in the sky all over the US east coast! The current METAR at Wallops reports the same thing: METAR KWAL 211254Z 03013G17KT 10SM CLR 09/M03 A3053 RMK AO2 SLP336 T00941028The only thing I'm not sure is the surface winds - what's the limit? (current wind is 13 knots from the north-east gusting to 17 knots)
The weather rules for the Antares rocket call for winds of less than 20 knots, no cloud ceiling below 6,000 feet, and no chance of lightning.

TVC Initial checks are complete and satisfactory. We are filling the subcooler with LN2 at this time.
next round of upper level wind assessments is green. The team is about to re-enter the pad to make minor component adjustments.
