Story from NASA Orion EFT-1 Launch

Story from NASA Orion EFT-1 Launch The G+ Story created from my trip with Lori Hibbett to see the NASA Orion EFT-1 launch last month.  If you'd like to see a launch tomorrow, NASA's Soil Moisture Active Passive mission (SMAP) launch from Vandenberg Air Force Base, California, is scheduled for 6:20 a.m. PST (9:20 a.m. EST) Friday, Jan. 30, with a three-minute launch window. The launch of the United Launch Alliance/Delta II rocket was scrubbed Thursday due to a violation of upper-level wind constraints. Launch managers have initiated a 24-hour recycle. The weather forecast for this launch window shows a 90 percent chance of favorable conditions.  NASATV coverage will be available at this link:   http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/news.php?release=2015-043&utm_source=iContact&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=NASAJPL&utm_content=smap20150129 #orionspacecraft   #NASA   #nasasocial   #OrionEFT1   https://plus.google.com/107459220492917008623/stories/380f967e-bb02-3672-9dfe-3d...
