All the propellant tanks on the Delta IV Heavy’s core boosters and second stage are fully loaded for launch. Pumps are topping off the oxygen and hydrogen tanks and the countdown is proceeding toward a 7:05 a.m. EST liftoff, the opening of a 2-hour, 39-minute window that extends to 9:44 a.m. EST.

Sluggishly moving valves due to long period at LH2 temperature.

Ikhana drone departed from Edwards about an hour ago. Wave heights well within limits.

At liftoff, hearing from ULA.
