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.

Launch video uploading to the video section.

Quality of the webcast was awful though. :frown:

Does anyone have the exact launch time in format 2248:XX.XXXUTC? Thanks!

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

Oh god, terrible quality of webcast + terrible performance of webcast + polish internet provider = tragedy... Thanks for 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.
