KSC Weather report:



There are still some remains clouds in the south of KSC. Don't know about its time but this enlace refresh every some period of time...

Rodolfo

From what I see on NASA TV it's seems to be getting rather cloudy. However, it seems to be considerably less windy than two days ago.

No clouds, but a windy day...

No winds but a cloudy day...

Gotta love that Florida weather.




I'm more p'ed off than I sound.

Thanks for posting this -- I hadn't managed to grab one of those from the feed -- put it straight in my blog

Some screen grabs so far:

AAAAARRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!
Damn weather!!!
I have never been to Florida, and now I promise I will never go to that cloudy,windy Florida...

Toma B.
I'm ready to go.........GO!

I wonder why they don't use aircraft to track the Atlas V's ascent as well... Have the plane obviously fly above those pesky, friggin' clouds...

clouds clear!

Launch Vehicle stands in full Sun again !
Looks they're GO for 19:00 Zulu ...

Final Launch call: All GO !!!

Maybe beacause if there is an accident, then the debris could fall below cloud cover and the plane would lose sight of where it fell...

Go for 1900. We'll see.

It's a GO!

THat's alot of freaking GOs!!

Weather "GO" for launch...

Where a 'praying happy face' emoticon when you need one?

Countdown resumes! T-4

4 min hold released, launch in 3 minutes..

This feels like the real thing this time

Pyros ENABLED !!!!

That's where the ground equipment comes along

Now the hand is firm at 2:00 pm TO PUSH DOWN THE RED FIRING CONTROL KNOB.

1:49 p.m. - We are GREEN on all weather fronts and have received a go for launch at 2:00 p.m. at this time. There will be a poll in about a minute by the NASA Launch Manager to make sure that everyone is still on track to come out of the hold and proceed to launch.

Rodolfo

105 "viewers" on the board...

1 min to go

this is it - I hope!

Yeeeehaaw!!!

YEEEEEEEEE-HAAAAAAAA!!!!!!

WOW, that thing was fast...

SRB jettison looked OK...

Godspeed, New Horizons! May your travels lead you to new discoveries!

Fairing jettison looked OK...

WOW. It FLEW off the launch pad.

0-6800mph in 3 minutes

What a nice view on fairing jettison !

I love this graphical telemetry data screen!

Away! Next Stop : well, never actually
Due to my refresh rate the video of the launch was basically "Now you see it, now you don't!"

Godspeed little one. We're thinking of you.

(told you it'd jump off the pad )

Doug

0-14300mph in 6 minutes.

How many G-force on that thing ?

Wow, you can even see the little control jets firing....

Over 14,000 mph now!

Very symetrical beauty faring jetission

Now, what is the ahead plan!!! I have not see a checklist that NH has to check out before leaving Earth!!

Rodolfo

Ditto

Reminds me of the old Apollo days when they had to use real animations to show what was going on!

Why does the rocket keep winking in and out? Is there a problem with the space-time continuum??

I had a nice NASA TV feed on my computer but it was delayed by about 30 seconds compared to what I saw on Fox News.

Can't wait to rewatch the launch over and over again.

I was able to record CNN's footage of it. I'll try to process that after classes are done today.

Yiiiiiiiiipppppeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!

Yes, Nice graphic using real telemetry data. You can see the RCS's firing and everything. Kind of a "virtual rocketcam"

Ok, now just get this thing spinning and the main engine away....

Where (URL) are you seeing those RCS firings ?

Planet Pluto ... minus 10 years and counting

NASA TV is showing a sim driven by "Live TLM Data"
