Have always loved Sea Launch. I can't wait for this return.

We're told not to expect the same webcast deal as previously (change of ownership etc), but so long as we get a webcast! None of that Sea Launch jazz, however.

Thanks Dave. That's a reasonably strict notice on their webcast. I better e-mail Sea Launch PAO about using screenshots.

Chris Bergin · « **Reply #50 on:** 09/24/2011 06:18 pm »

Moved for live coverage.

Go Sea Launch!

I can be here to cover if nobody else is lined up. Did you get a response for use of screenshots?

Chris Bergin · « **Reply #53 on:** 09/24/2011 07:44 pm »

Great, thanks Steven. Screenshots are cool.

Ill have backup and video If I can get it to work in vlc... but a warning college football is on as well

Doesn't look like issues are being worked, and Sea Launch has noted on their website that conditions are favorable at the launch site for today's return to flight.

After the first Block DM burn, we'll be in a 43 minute coast phase, before burning again. Approximately 1 hour after the first Block DM burn, we'll have spacecraft sep.

chris: what about video? I noticed the text too late and sent the email asking about it an hour ago, so i doubt i get a response any time soon

Ford Mustang · « **Reply #58 on:** 09/24/2011 08:00 pm »

L-17 minutes. Webcast should start in the next two.
