Flyaround.

Is the purpose of the flyaround to obtain imagery or just demonstrate flight capabilities?

Frank's turn.

Notes a lot of launches and events going on around this month. Really nice hat tip to SpaceX and others there.

Lots of thanks to all the partners. "It's truly been a team that has been focused on making this a reality."

Notes the weather delay and a few issues with pad integration causing the one day delay.

Last of the testing was completed last night. Closeouts and walkdowns today. Final arming tonight. 2am CTS.

Late Stow items....think it's food and tools. We don't actually look at the bags.

Can survive for 24 hours if the arrays don't deploy, longer if only one deploys, but confident in the system.

Robert's there, oh and I've spotted our very own Philip! :)

Flight demonstration.
In satellite operations, schedules are governed by the laws of physics and bounded by the limits of technology.

Robert asking about camera views......will look the same as A-One. There is a camera on the spacecraft. Not sure about what views they'll get. Won't be fully live due to bandwidth, so a lot downlinked later.
