Did you catch the launch of @ulalaunch's #AtlasV #SolarOrbiter? This mission asks the question: how does the Sun create & control the ever-changing environment throughout the solar system? Which is important to know as we #SetThePaceForSpace as the @SpaceForceDoD 🚀

The Atlas 5’s Centaur upper stage has ignited after good burns by the rocket’s first stage and strap-on solid-fueled booster. Everything looks good as the Atlas 5 and Solar Orbiter arc toward the southeast from Cape Canaveral. spaceflightnow.com/2020/02/0…

Tomorrow at 9:19 p.m., the @SpaceX #Starlink launch is slated to become the 1st official launch of the @SpaceForceDoD! The 45 WS has identified the cumulus cloud rule as the primary concern for the launch, however the probability of violating launch weather constraints is <10%!
