    Delayed to 1:50pm (central) due to upper level wind shear

    Delayed to 2:05pm (central) due to wind


    T-1H 50M NO constraints at this time. Upper Level Winds will continue to be monitored New Launch time: 2:45 Central

    Launch auto-sequence initiated (aka the holy mouse-click) for 2:45 (central) liftoff
