Taking time to verify some upper stage systems.

It's a cold day in Alaska, and the upper stage umbilical looked very icy. They zoomed in on it just before they went to stock video.
Maybe they need to scrub and insulate some lines better. (The issue might be something completely different, of course.)
If the flight goes off successfully, it does help prove the launch envelope.

Still in the hold.
Today's window is 05:00 to 08:30 UTC. So, they need to emerge from the hold before or at 08:00 UTC today.
Tomorrow's window also 05:00 to 08:30 UTC.
From the webcast:
Launches from Kodiak share airspace with airplane flights to and from Anchorage.
The dates and times of launch windows are constrainted by the FAA because the increased rate of passenger and freight flights due to Thanksgiving (stated as "the holidays" in the webcast). Thus, no launch window on Nov 21 UTC, etc.
IIRC, Anchorage can be a midpoint for transpolar flights, as well as a destination.
We live in the age of (jet) airplanes, even in Alaska!

(I don't know how to quote twitter, so I'll just type it out)
From Chris Kemp: "The team diligently worked through issues related to the freezing conditions up in Kodiak tonight, but we ran out of time. We'll try again tomorrow"

Good webcast, the Astra rep was likeable and had good info. Did anyone ask about circularization and if there is a 3rd stage?
