George Diller/Launch Commentator: This is Atlas Launch Control at L-3 hours, 10 minutes, 45 seconds and counting.
And we are on schedule for the launch of the Atlas V with the LRO/LCROSS payload this afternoon.
At this time, we're working no significant issues that would preclude an on-time liftoff.
Some of the things that have been going on in the past couple of hours:
We have been able to verify that we have good communications
between the Launch Control Center and the Eastern Range, and also with the Tracking and Data Relay Satellite System.
Also, the flight controls on the launch vehicle have been checked out and verified.
We've had checks of the C-band radar system, and we've had start of the chilldown
for the LOX storage area facilities in preparation for cryogenic fueling.
Also, our S-band communication systems on the rocket have also been turned on and checked out.
