The latest launch of an Atlas V carrying the secret NROL-36 payload is continuing to target an on-time launch at 2:39 PDT (9:39 GMT) today. A mission controllers meeting yesterday reviewed the status of the rocket, payload and range readiness and approved the launch today.
A ULA spokesperson said “Everything is continuing on track for an on-time launch this afternoon of NROL-36 at 2:39 p.m. PDT. The team has been given the clear for tower rollback and is not working any technical issues at this time.“. The weather has been declared perfect for the launch attempt and things seem to be progressing well.
If you are not able to go to view the launch in person then the next best thing is to check out the ULA launch broadcast. This will start at 2:19pm PDT (9:39 GMT) and continue until about 5 minutes after the launch when there will be a media blackout.
