T+5:30.  Confirmation of first sage and successful jettison of the Payload Fairing.  Telemetry looks good.  6 minute burn on the second stage engine.  SECO in 2 minutes.

Quality of the webcast was awful though.  :frown:

Thanks Ford for covering for the shots. My computer locked up hard right after liftoff and I couldn't get any more shots.

I think the PAO said 22:47:59, but the sound on mine is absolute c**p (and about 30 seconds out of synch with the video), so I don't know for sure.

I've got a really good quality webcast via Windows Media Player.  My Real Video link was bad, so I switched media players.  

Sea Launch is putting on a good program, IMO, with informative info from Paula and an interesting interview with the CEO of DirecTV.

The program also included a look at the "faces" of Sea Launch.

That's not much use unless you got some launch images, or recorded it?

My WMP feed was bad, and I couldn't even get the RP link. Sound is now about five minutes out of synch, and it is getting annoying. I think that is a problem at my end though. In all, this coverage is making me think that Falcon DF2 was perfect in terms of webcast quality.

Apart from that, it was a good launch.
