Good call. I thought about starting an Orbital ATK thread for the Minotaur C launch last week.

If there was another thread I missed, this could be combined, don't wanna steal someone's thread.

This thread could be merged into an Orbital ATK thread: 

Orbital ATK doesn't launch that much but we've got separate threads for activity regarding ULA, SpaceX, and Blue Origin. As far as thread stealing, it's all the same to me. I was just trying to spread the word to whoever was interested.

Maybe some of you get to see this one...

They should be launching tommorow, to nearly the same time. Like 10-20 minutes difference

The pilot of the small plane should be sent a bill.

Hoping that no planes are there today

Planes, boats... Looks like small vehicles are a bigger obstacle to space exploration than launching into the sky on a pillar of roaring fire

So they are working on an expendable SRB launcher? 6.8 tons to LEO? Okay, cool, i geuss. I would rather hitch a ride on a Soyuz rocket for that payload mass. I don't think the USAF would do that however

The More Launch Vehicles the Merrier if you ask me. Its GTO payload capacity though not LEO.
