GEORGE DILLER: And at this time, we will see some video of tower rollback. This is actually the
tower rollback that occurred Thursday night prior to our last launch attempt.
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.
In just about five minutes, we'll be entering the polls that will be conducted to proceed down
to T-4 minutes. This will be from our NASA launch director Omar Baez.
And he will report that to Boeing Mission Director Rich Murphy. He'll have his
own series of polls and so will the launch conductor.
But at this point, we continue to prepare for a 3:22 a.m. liftoff this morning. No issues
working in the countdown at this time.
It's a ten-minute window that we have today. We do have two COLAs, collision avoidance
quotients, that we'll have to watch if we have to go into the window.
There's one gesture of the opening of the window at ten twenty-three fifteen. There's a 21 second COLA.
And then again toward the end of the window at ten twenty-six, there's another 20 second COLA. But
ten minutes, with the weather that we have tonight and no problems in the countdown, should -- we
should achieve that very easily.
Of course, the Delta II is capable of doing one-second launch windows. At T-20 minutes and holding, this is
Delta Launch Control.
