00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.000


00:00:02.000 --> 00:00:10.000
George Diller/Launch Commentator:  This is Atlas Launch Control at L-3 hours, 10 minutes, 45 seconds and counting.

00:00:10.000 --> 00:00:21.000
And we are on schedule for the launch of the Atlas V with the LRO/LCROSS payload this afternoon.

00:00:21.000 --> 00:00:30.000
At this time, we're working no significant issues that would preclude an on-time liftoff.

00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:38.000
Some of the things that have been going on 
in the past couple of hours:

00:00:38.000 --> 00:00:43.000
We have been able to verify that we have good communications

00:00:43.000 --> 00:00:53.000
between the Launch Control Center and the Eastern Range, and also with the Tracking and Data Relay Satellite System.

00:00:53.000 --> 00:00:59.000
Also, the flight controls on the launch vehicle have been checked out and verified.

00:00:59.000 --> 00:01:09.000
We've had checks of the C-band radar system, and we've had start of the chilldown

00:01:09.000 --> 00:01:16.000
for the LOX storage area facilities in preparation for cryogenic fueling.

00:01:16.000 --> 00:01:22.000
Also, our S-band communication systems on the rocket have also been turned on and checked out.

00:01:22.000 --> 00:01:26.000
