Here's plan: we moved T0 by 10 minutes (5:10 EDT) to allow us to evaluate the 3:30 EDT balloon debris field data - if OK we'll proceed to fueling. If not, we will delay to 6:10 launch and repeat the eval at 4:30 for a 7:10 launch or scrub. We're in the process of coordinating this with the balloon guys...
Cleaning up ... see you tomorrow ... announcing scrub right now
wait.... Scrub just because 40 people were too close? Not homes / wildlife sanctuaries,etc, but human tourists too close? If so, wouldn't the initial allowed observation range have been set further out from the get go?
Booo! These are the first launches (well, attempts) I've ever watched from Wallops...and both times winds were creating issues. I'm no weather expert, so does Wallops being further North than KSC generally increase the chances of high winds (or bad weather in general)?
