(Launch control communications)
This is Atlas Launch Control at T-4 minutes and holding, and after some further
discussions, we've gone ahead and added another five minutes into our built-in hold, meaning our new target for
launch today will be at 2 p.m. Eastern time. Our new target launch time is at 2 p.m. Eastern time.
Again, this is still pending the resolution of the low clouds that we must have some clearance for, for our
observers, our observing tracking optics to be able to follow the launch vehicle as it leaves the pad.
The clouds have remained broken, but we anticipate that any time now they could go, go to scattered, which
would give us the additional clearances for launch. So again, we're standing by for low clouds that are keeping
us on the ground at this point, hopeful that these clouds will thin out sufficiently to where we can launch.
Again, our new target launch time is at 2 p.m. Eastern time, straight up 2 p.m.
