  Maybe I'm missing it, but there is absolutely no media resources for this launch of the Atlas.

  It's after all a classified launch for the NRO. I doubt that they want give away anything on this launch. They're usually very quiet when it comes to spy sat launches.

  Launch coverage usually doesn't until 20-30 minutes before the launch.

  I hear they have a range issue which needs to be fixed or it's a scrub.

  
  Yes, at this time there is some kind of problem that needs to be fixed for the launch to proceed or else it's a scrub.

  
  The problem is related to a malfunctioning range safety station...

• We'll simply give coverage to this via the forum, no point bumping down our exclusive on the 117 latest for the sake of repeating what was covered in Av week.
  
  Anyone good to take screenshots from the webcast?
