IncongruousGoat Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 Seeing as I won't be able to sit down and watch the stream until 7:00 PM EST, the plan is to pause it now and, while watching it, pretend I'm out near the orbit of Neptune and that the delay is due to transmission time. Hopefully it'll be enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m currently running on the theory that she’s not going up today after all so I can squander likes as I want, hoping the universe will turn things around to prove me wrong just out of spite.

Nefrums Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 While we wait. Have anyone seen a flight plan? From what I have read there will be a 6 hour cruse before the exit burn. My guess: Factoring in the time of day of the launch and the fact the the exit will be in the general direction of earth prograde it does not look like they will go to GTO but rather a shorter 6 hour elliptic orbit followed by a exit burn close to PE.

qzgy Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 Mind if I ask, but what fails if we have these high upper level winds? Is it a structural thing or is it something with guidance/control? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
