Coming up on L-3 hrs, all systems go for launch. I'm at a different console today and will not be able to give many updates. Please wish us luck.

Sea Launch coverage of this mission will be approximately an hour-and-a-half in length. The broadcast program will be carried via streaming video on this site, ( http://www.sea-launch.com/current_index_webcast.html )beginning at 3:35 pm PST (23:35 GMT) - 14 minutes before liftoff - and will continue through the completion of the mission.

Anyone know the launch wind speed limits (or sea state) for the Sea Launch Zenit?

On the webcam it looks like the sea is showing just a few scattered whitecaps, but I wonder how high they can go?  I checked my Sea Launch user's guide but didn't find any launch constraint information there.
