45 minutes to launch. That's about 14:55 UTC.

"Rockets can be unpredictable/unpunctual beasts. Estimating ~45mins to launch. Stay tuned will update real time when in terminal count &live"

This launch window appears rather flexible ... !

It's more of a sliding door than a window.

Heard a call of drogue and clapping a bit after so they sounded pretty happy with it.

Look forward to the drone footage.

What sort of payload could Astro Digital have had on this flight that could have been useful to them?  :o
