Live webcam of the Pluto New Horizons launch:
OK, so here we go again. High winds stopped the first try, and a power outage in Maryland stopped the second.
But New Horizons is still on the pad, waiting to launch. The window for launch opens at 18:08 Universal time (10:08 a.m. Pacific) and runs until 20:07 UT (12:07 Pacific).
The links you want:
- The launch info is at Kennedy Space Center.
- NASA TV has a live view.
- The New Horizons Pluto mission website.
In other news, the Stardust folks had a press conference this morning, but it was at 8:00 my time, when I had to take the Little Astronomer to school. I only saw the last few minutes, but clearly the team is very pleased with how things went. If anyone saw it, then feel free to chat in the comments section.
