The next event will be a readiness check of the Titan 2 rocket's systems. T-minus 15 minutes and counting. The terminal countdown has begun for today's launch of a U.S. Air Force Titan 2 rocket and the DMSP F15 military weather satellite. The launch team has been polled and the go has been given to enter terminal count at T-minus 15 minutes. Now 20 minutes away from launch.
All systems remain ready for liftoff.
Coming up a readiness poll of the launch team. The U.S. Air Force has approved one waiver for the launch attempt. One weather balloon is not available today, but officials have decided to proceed without it. We have four vehicles that are currently operational and this satellite is replacing two of them. So we are going to replace those two vehicles with this newer vehicle that will have more capability of the two of them combined, because of the accumulated failures.
