Thanks Chris, bit of a shame OSC does not have their own dedicated feed, but that is commercial operations for you.
Why? What value does Orbital or anyone gain for providing a live feed. Yes it gives some of us instant gratification, but that does not put additional rockets on the table for Orbital. One could argue that if anything, nothing should be broadcast about this test least others (cough, Iran) get ideas.
Scheduled T-0 has been and gone, rocket is still sitting there. Plenty of window left though.
