No recycle today. May not be tomorrow either, they have to evaluate why there was a criteria violation.

reminder... update thread.
Safety first, rats, etc. deleted. Left Helo's "more time" as that is sort of an update I guess?

PS, see the party thread if you don't get the joke there about picks on an expendable mission.
And please use the
update discussion thread,.... or the party thread for your comments, questions, quips, etc.
http://forum.nasaspaceflight.com/index.php?topic=41426 (discussion)
One eager low post count member got two posts deleted. I feel bad. But not that bad.
Edit: I also feel stooopid for saying update when I meant discussion. TWICE!

Launch weather forecast improving, now 70% GO for today (3rd) and looks like still another backup opportunity on the 4th:
Launch day probability of violating launch weather constraints: 30%
Primary concern(s): Cumulus Cloud Rule
Delay day probability of violating launch weather constraints: 30%
Primary concern(s): Cumulus Cloud Rule

Not actually official yet, but the way KSC is acting on the notes of roadblocks and preps suggests they are deep into activating the 24 hour scrub turnaround, so another attempt today. Caveat is they can take it down to polling points, so yeah - but let's go with another attempt until we hear different.

A launch tonight and this would still be the shortest time between two launches from Kennedy. Any further delay and the gap from BulgariaSat-1 will be longer than that between Skylab 1 and Skylab 2 (i.e. Skylab itself and its first crew) in May 1973.

Just over 2hrs to the opening of today's launch window. This is the current radar. Storm is to the west and holding position about 13nmi from SLC-39A -- which is good.

More weather context. The storm has been building, consolidated from the west. An outflow boundary is moving across the state, originated around Orlando.
