This photo which I took in the Building 34 lobby at Goddard in 2017 seems appropriate here. It is the Piers J. Sellers Award for Interdisciplinary Science which was established by the Goddard Science and Exploration Directorate in honor of its former Deputy Directory. (For non-members of the British Commonwealth, this is a cricket bat.)

I went to the Wallops launch of NG-17 and launch was great. What are the wind limits as when I got there the wind i thought was over any limits. I do not know if this is the place to say this but the public viewing areas are nonexistant. With the increased interest in space and the economic benefits to wallops area I would have thought that when the Antares started to launch to the ISS the public viewing areas would be better.

NASA TV is Live Monday Broadcasting Cygnus Arrival at Station
Mark Garcia Posted on February 20, 2022
Tune in to NASA television beginning at 3 a.m. EST Monday, Feb. 21 to view the capture of Northrop Grumman’s Cygnus spacecraft which launched Saturday at 12:40 p.m. on an Antares rocket from NASA’s Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia. At about 4:35 a.m., NASA astronaut Raja Chari will capture Cygnus, with NASA astronaut Kayla Barron acting as backup. After Cygnus capture, mission control in Houston will send ground commands for the station’s arm to rotate and install it on the station’s Unity module Earth-facing port.
This is Northrop Grumman’s 17th commercial resupply mission to the International Space Station for NASA. The Cygnus spacecraft is carrying a fresh supply of 8,300 pounds of scientific investigations and cargo to the orbiting laboratory.
The Cygnus spacecraft is named the S.S. Piers Sellers in honor of the late NASA astronaut who spent nearly 35 days across three missions helping to construct the space station.
NASA Television, the NASA app, and agency’s website will provide live coverage of the spacecraft’s approach and arrival beginning at 3 a.m.

Before media headed out to set remote cameras, we were told that the wind limits were 33 mph and that the upper-level wind limits depended on the direction that they were going. As to public viewing areas, there are plenty of really close viewing locations such as the ferry docks which are almost the same distance as the press site (about 2 miles). There are also places such as Wishart Point that offer amazing public viewing opportunities.
