In the day's first briefing, Launch Weather Officer Brian Belson tells mission managers that the forecast for launch of #VulcanRocket #Cert1 remains at an 85% chance of acceptable conditions for liftoff at 2:18amEST (0718 UTC). Cloud thickness poses the primary concern.

Rolling through @ulalaunch’s flickr, and man GEM-63XLs are huge. Each one is 22 meters long and over 1.6 meters in diameter, larger than Rocket Lab’s entire Electron rocket! 📸: ULA

PQE-602 was the first of Blue Origin’s flight-configuration BE-4 engines that we assembled and tested, achieving consistent and repeated mission duty cycle hotfires for over 2,500 seconds of test.
