A very important mission, but a really cool way to launch.
There are scattered showers out in the Atlantic right now though. 60% chance of a go so far. From that video it seems like they have a small area where they can launch it. About 110 miles off the coast of Daytona Beach the plane will then fly a race track shaped pattern and then will release it. |
