Firefly Aerospace plans to try again tonight to launch its Alpha rocket from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California, following a last-moment abort last night after engine start.

Webcast has begun. Showing T-26 minutes on the clock, which I think is a little early.

Based on Yesterday's attempt, fueling started around 90 min before launch. At least that's when I started to see the stage turn white at the bottom.

The FS tank becoming frosty now.
