The #NROL129 mission is represented by two launch patches featuring two warrior figures working together to defend our nation’s interests and deny our enemies sanctuary. The patches include the phrase “Our Time has Come,” which symbolizes that these payloads will enable the NRO’s continued support to both defense and intelligence operations in support of national security.
Launch is scheduled for no earlier thank 15 July from NASA Wallops Flight Facility, Virginia.

A question about public viewing:
Pad 0B is very close to the Antares Pad 0A, but slightly south of it. Also, we're dealing with a different rocket, using different types and amounts of fuel.
So do we think that the same exclusion zone applies for public viewing as with Antares? In particular, I am wondering if Arbuckle Neck Road will be closed but the Old Ferry Dock open. Thoughts?

A question about public viewing:
Public viewing sites will be monitored for crowd size. County and state officials have the right to discourage gatherings for viewing but I have not yet found anything prohibiting those sites.

The NROL press kit says there will be a livestream on Wallops Youtube.

I tried the Wallops Ustream feed, but it says "Please enter password to watch."
