Re: Launch Date

Re: Launch Date
We have as Jenn G4HIZ is out there now - it should do it's test firing today and launch on Thursday....
But don't get too excited - it will probably be 2 - 3 months before it's ready for use....
Just packing my flip-flops and camera

Re: Launch Date
Apparently the test firing didn't happen at 1400Z, but the test window extends to 2000Z.
