This is Pegasus Launch Control. T-1 hour, 25 minutes, 40 seconds and counting. In the cockpit is pilot Don Moore and co-pilot Ed Harris.
They are also working with flight engineer Bob Taylor in the cockpit.
And in the back, controlling the launch of the Pegasus today, the launch panel operator is Gary Vyhnalek. We'll be hearing him from time to time.
And also payload launch panel operator Ben Hekman.
Standing by now for the clearance to taxi from the tower at T-1 hour, 24 minutes, 55 seconds and counting, this is Pegasus Launch Control.
This is Pegasus Launch Control, T-1 hour, 19 minutes, 10 seconds and counting.
The Orbital Sciences carrier aircraft now taxiing toward the end of runway 30, where it will depart to the west out over the Pacific Ocean.
The targeted departure time is 5:04 a.m. Pacific Time.
It will be 58 minutes from the time that the aircraft begins to roll until the drop of the Pegasus with the ST5 spacecraft.
Once again, only a 10 percent chance of not meeting our launch weather criteria violations this morning.
There are no problems in work, so there is no reason at this point not to expect not to have an on-time departure at 5:04 a.m.
At T-1 hour, 18 minutes, 10 seconds and counting, this is Pegasus Launch Control.
