GEORGE DILLER: And at this time, we will see some video of tower rollback. This is actually the

00:00:07.000 --> 00:00:46.000
tower rollback that occurred Thursday night prior to our last launch attempt.

00:00:46.000 --> 00:01:00.000
NOAA-N as it sits atop the Delta II weighs 3,130 pounds and the fairing, it's 14 feet long and
six feet wide.

00:01:00.000 --> 00:01:07.000
In just about five minutes, we'll be entering the polls that will be conducted to proceed down

00:01:07.000 --> 00:01:16.000
to T-4 minutes. This will be from our NASA launch director Omar Baez.

00:01:16.000 --> 00:01:20.000
And he will report that to Boeing Mission Director Rich Murphy. He'll have his

00:01:20.000 --> 00:01:27.000
own series of polls and so will the launch conductor.

00:01:27.000 --> 00:01:35.000
But at this point, we continue to prepare for a 3:22 a.m. liftoff this morning. No issues

00:01:35.000 --> 00:01:38.000
working in the countdown at this time.

00:01:38.000 --> 00:01:45.000
It's a ten-minute window that we have today. We do have two COLAs, collision avoidance

00:01:45.000 --> 00:01:52.000
quotients, that we'll have to watch if we have to go into the window.

00:01:52.000 --> 00:02:01.000
There's one gesture of the opening of the window at ten twenty-three fifteen. There's a 21 second COLA.

00:02:01.000 --> 00:02:12.000
And then again toward the end of the window at ten twenty-six, there's another 20 second COLA. But

00:02:12.000 --> 00:02:17.000
ten minutes, with the weather that we have tonight and no problems in the countdown, should -- we

00:02:17.000 --> 00:02:19.000
should achieve that very easily.

00:02:19.000 --> 00:02:27.000
Of course, the Delta II is capable of doing one-second launch windows. At T-20 minutes and holding, this is

00:02:27.000 --> 00:02:31.000
Delta Launch Control.

00:02:31.000 --> 00:02:39.000
