They're on balloon L-7 now - 92 to go...
Hold extended for another 5 minutes. Not planning for a new T-0 yet.

Does this rocket have a name? I thought they (NRO) were bringing back that tradition.

The launch has been named "Gryphon", however the naming of the rockets themselves seems to be a 30SW thing.

East coast Titans were male and west coast female. It seems the 30th SW wants to extend that tired tradition.
NRO certain missions have had names. Such as stars and constellations.

They uplinked a new load relief file into the launch vehicle, but PAO says that winds aloft are still red and they can't develop a flight profile. Don't know how to reconcile these two data points. Jim?

Targeting 6:38 PM T-0. Upper level winds still red though.
Target is now 6:38pm - so what happened to the window?
The 6:30 time was a "no earlier than" time, so the launch window could actually be longer.

I'm sure PAO said it was a couple hours.

Hmm, they e-mailed "Shooting for the end of the window." on the 6:30pm T-0. Not to worry, this is better news

Sounds like they are GO now for upper level winds. Not sure if it had to do with new flight profile...
