• The video isn't working for me, and I've tried three different browsers.  I don't normally have any problems with NASA TV.
  
  
  Oh well, good thing I have NSF.com to keep me posted.  If and when the launch occurs, I can run outside and look.

• Going to hold at T-3 mins again.

   UPDATE: 4pm 6/14:  NASA Terrier Improved Malemute will launch no earlier than 6/16, from 9:05 to 9:20 p.m. due to poor weather conditions.

• At a recent AIAA presentation, it was mentioned that HiFIRE 4 would be launched from Woomera this month. I've been trying to find NOTAMs that might indicate a launch, but without much success. I did find this AIP Supplement, indicating vertical limits of SFC-UNL from 30 June to 14 July. This could be for HiFIRE 4.

  UPDATE (3:30 p.m., June 16): Father's Day Sounding Rocket Launch Planned
  
  The launch of the NASA Terrier Improved Malemute is now scheduled for Sunday, June 18, with a window from 9:05 to 9:20 p.m.  Weather is not conducive for a launch attempt June 16 or 17. Stay tuned to this website and the Wallops social media sites for updates.
  
  This is the eighth launch attempt for this mission. Previous scrubs have been due to a variety of issues, such as high winds, clouds, and boats in the hazard area.
