Eastern time. Last night, we powered up the core stage, all look normal. We had finally shanks on the inner leak tank umbilical, the area that had a leak during countdown launch event one. All passed the test servicemaster umbilical. Could be checks there. Yesterday evening, we completed moving access stands. And began vinyl launch preps for the umbilicals. On our plate today is a series of lunch relief systems checks, charging batteries on flight elements, finishing final walk downs making sure everything looks and is in the appropriate configuration. Weve got a busy afternoon moving everything into final punch configuration. Handrails, heavy equipment, things like that. We will be talking about going into tomorrow and the day of launch. Activities pick up early, 2 00 a. M. , a full clearing of the blessed danger area. We get energy to switch over at 3 30 a. M. , that allows us to go into a tanking meeting at 4 45 am, we expect to get a decision coming out of their at about 5 30. 8 00 a. M. , you expect the engine to kickstart, one of the big milestones that we are going to Pay Attention to. Afterwards, we will be in two replenish in terms of our commodities for liquid hydrogen. When we get into, after that, a pretest, and that will lead up the Risk Mitigation when we get into terminal counts we do not run into any unexpected issues. Right now, we are on track for a 2 17 launch. The team has done a fantastic job. Repairing the issues and getting us into a configuration to proceed for tomorrows launch attempt. With that, that is the quick update. You want to go through the weather . The weather continues to still look good for the launch on saturday. The slow flow has become onshore this morning. Lets look at satellite so we can talk about what is happening. Satellite being pulled up, you can see it is a week trough positioned to our north. If you are able to focus your eyes north of the space coast, you can see some thunderstorms forming close to daytona this morning. Basically, that is indicative of an onshore flow starting up, we did he that with our weather balloon put up in the air earlier this morning. With that onshore flow regime, starting it should strengthen as we get into saturday. That will likely do us favors as we get into the later portion of the launch window past saturday afternoon. Again, we are expecting our weather to start off dicey as we get into the 11 00, 12 00 timeframe. We will go ahead and, since i am talking about the launch window weather, we will flip to that next slide. Our weather is going to start off a 40 possibility of , a 60 go. We do start evaluating the weather three hours before the launch window opens, around 11 00. I expect to make no go because at some point tomorrow. Outside east coast sea breeze drips drifts further inland, we clipped farther back from that. The reason why we are trending the forecast to more of an 80 favorability at the end of the launch window tomorrow afternoon. We can flip to the backup forecast, that is on monday afternoon and evening timeframe. I got the same numbers i gave you yesterday, a 70 chance probability of both. There is a little more uncertainty in this forecast than what we had before previously, we did see a steady easterly flow. At this point in time, it does seem like we are going to have a ridge on top of us in the midlevel layers of the atmosphere. It is splicing the flow more than we expected. To the north of us, we are expecting more on the side of westerly flow. To the south of us, we are expecting easterly flow. Smack dab in the middle, that gives us a light flow regime and could go either way. It is a forecast like that, we are going to be focused on the weather with inland sea breeze boundaries. Sometimes, with that kind of situation, we can see flooding towards us in the late and evening time frames. Because of that, i did add the ample rule into the launch backup. In any case, i do not expect weather to be a showstopper by any means for either launch window. Thank you. For the reporters in the room, raise your hand, we will get a mic to you. For those on the phone, press star one to get into the question queue. Marcia dunn, associated press. Melody, what does the taking forecast look like . We had a one hour delay on monday before they could fuel. My other question for jeremy is, if you have to lay the start of fueling for any reason, is it a minute for minute slip in terms of what it does for the launch times, and do you do other things . First question, yeah, i am glad you brought that up. Because we have onshore flow, we could have showers approaching the coastline and maybe a crack of thunder and lightning with that. That is certainly a threat again, a similar threat to what we had the other day. One inference, we are not nearly as moist throughout the atmospheric chrome as we work the other day. That is on our side. It is hard to predict a shower activity offshore during the late night timeframe, it is much easier to predict it for the sea breeze then the approaching nocturnal showers. It is possible that could be a hindrance. If we can get past that, i am confident weather will press forward for us. To address your second question, it is not it wouldnt be a minute per minute slip, that is why we want to let the team work for it. They didnt reset the clock until the t 40 minute hold time frame yesterday. There is not a lot of margin in the timeline, it is very orchestrated. They may be able to deal with certain 15 and it, 20 minute delays i would say there is not a lot of margin in that timeline. The next question. Stephen young with spaceflight now for jeremy, to the wtr, you ended hold to get more padding in the schedule and you have done that again to get the engine kickstart working, etc. I am wondering if you can give us an idea of the workday for the launch team. Is it multiple shifts, how does that work . Are there post launch traditions we should expect, will there be beings and a pair of scissors . I appreciate that. We are watching the team closely. It is not onesizefitsall, some systems may be a couple different folks going through. When you look at some leadership like charlie or our integration consult, they are playing for about planning for about 12 hour days. If we get into a scrub, it good could go longer than that. In general, 12 hour days is what we are scheduling them for. We have been watching the team closely. I am here this morning so we can give charlie the morning off. The key test conductors and test erectors. We are focusing and talking to them, making sure they feel good and healthy going into tomorrows attempt and are rested. When we talk about what are some of the celebrations, we will have at the control center. Excited to see those things, we are trying to establish a few traditions, what you will see is i will be wearing a green tie for launch day to show solidarity with our launch director and others there. A question over here. 1819 news. Melanie, could you give us an overview of the annville cloud rule . A lot of our readers would like to know more about that. Essentially, what the rule is based on, i can give you an overview of why our rules exist at all. Primarily, our rules exist because, based on true principles. Number one, you cannot fly into an active thunderstorm. Number two, you cannot trigger your own lightning strike. We have seen that in the past at least twice. Basically, we are sending a charged rod up into the sky and we have done half the work for the atmosphere already. The other rule is a continuation of that, where basically it is a spread of the electric current possibly along the annville extending further away from the parent thunderstorm. Because of some of that electric current could still exist, sometimes it is masked by the outside of the cloud. We do not have a good handle on how to see it and read it, it is a built in conservatism into the rule to make sure we do not trigger our own lightning strikes. We will go to the phones and come back to the room. On the phone we have bill hardwood, cbs news. Thanks, jeremy. I do not know if you can answer this question or not. Youve got 46 four this launch, you are passing through multiple realms of satellites. Any idea how starling plays into all of that, if it does at all . Honestly, the spaceports space force has done analysis, 45 cut outs. Many are short in duration. A couple seconds each with 10 of them being a minute each. In terms of what goes behind that analysis, i do not have the answer. It is a mix of satellite position, orbital debris and things like that. The space force looks at the specifics with whether it is starling, starlink. Kristin fisher, cnn. Are you there . Sorry, guys. [laughter] just wondering if it would be possible to get a update on exactly what the new duration of this mission is going to be. Yesterday, 37 days, some of our folks at cnn were trying to do the math and we were not seeing it at up. Can we get an update, i believe the first launch attempt would have been 42 days. If it goes on saturday, how long would the mission be . Thank you. As you started doing the count, a couple things that are relevant is, do you count the launch date and, essentially, that is where you are getting a couple different durations. We are a couple hours shy of 38 days. Right now, if we launch tomorrow afternoon, we would land on october 11 at 11 10 pacific time. That gives you the duration. It is approximately 37 to 38 days, depending on where you draw those lines. Over here. Space policy online. Com. If you have the scope tomorrow or monday and tuesday as possibilities, do you have to roll back to the vab because of replacing the battery, or are you negotiating to see if they can extend that, or do you positively have to go back to the vab . That is a good question. Right now, it is our flight termination system is the pacing function for needing roll after this launch period. It is based off weight test requirements. Right now, the range says every so many days, prior to lunch, you have to flight a test that flight termination system. Right now we provided data for a little over 20 days since we tested it to launch time. We believe we need to roll back and retest that system, to meet the range requirements. Right now, after 9 6, we retest. We do not have to replace the batteries, but it is a relatively short retest to provide confidence to the range that the public will be safe. Will you be able to recharge the batteries on the five accessible cubesats . Honestly, i can follow up with you on that one. Typically, what we would do is it during power up, we are able to recharge, make sure everything is good. A number of those will be charged up on orbit. I can get you a specific answer, i am not positive. Front row here. Space. Com for jeremy, you mentioned a possibility of making up time if you get delayed on is it opening the hoses to fuel faster, or coming earlier, and how do you make that decision . There are built in holds throughout the timeline, activities throughout all of that. If we get the chill down quicker than expected, or to the 100 built on the tank going to replenish, it is minutes you can make up in a number of those things. There is not much padding in the timeline. What you saw on the first attempt was, we were in hour down due to weather. As we progressed the first four or five hours, we made up maybe 10 to 15 minutes. That depends on speed, rate of chill downs, they are not going to change mouth positions or anything like that. A question in the third row over here. Hi. Thanks, very much. Touch your arm. [laughter] deviation week, two questions. The first is, where there any other changes made that would cover last 29 seconds of the count down that were not done but were practiced in the green run, based on what you have learned with the sensor configurations and the lh to flow . That is one question to take us through the last 29 seconds of the countdown that hasnt been tested yet and if there is any changes in the process. The other question is about the how are those accounted for in the countdowns, does charlie call a hold or will it be all medically automatically stopped, especially if you are in termination mode, we do not pick up the final section of the count down there is one of these colas in that process . Thanks. For the last 29 seconds, no changes were made. In order to get the base of your question which was, with did we do what did we do to mimic greenroom activities . That is where we tried to begin the kickstart test, that is happening before we get to stable replenish on the lh to tank. We are bringing that earlier into the flow. For we get the hydrogen take full. That mimics what we did at a green run. As far as what we do the last 29 seconds in hand over, no changes were made based on that. A lot of this is a vestige about not getting those adjectives offering, one to make sure we have strong process control. Can you repeat, ok. The colas, how do we account for that. Thank you for the reminder. That one will depend on when we choose to be set clock. Say we go in, what happens now, the gls integration console has a series of times those cutouts are. If we run into issues, we will perform an analysis and say we are good to launch at x time, they will reset to that and avoid the cola. It is not completely automated, but we have folks that have those times up and it is when we go to rethinking the clock to a new t0 time. New york times. The last hydrogen line, lead kickstart. Invest two, want to verify your procedures. The countdown, when does the engine chill down occur . Let me try and get to the core of your question. When maybe i will repeat it back. When do we validate our new procedures . Is that the question . Assuming everything works the way you want it to this time, for artemis two, when would the chill down occur during normal countdown . The kickstart procedure is something we will do every flow. What we are doing this time around that we have not necessarily had in future test is a pretest prepress test, that is getting his us into understanding how everything is behaving, that is a Risk Mitigation to the terminal count. I believe we will not continue we will do the kickstart similar in every single flow. What time in the countdown would that occur . Right now, it will occur at approximately 8 00 a. M. For about an hour. In the future. It will be a similar time. A question on the phone with jin siegel, nasa tech. Net. Thank you for taking my question. If the launch moves to monday instead of saturday, when will the launch window open . I assume it will still be a two hour launch window. Thank you. Our launch window opens, it is a couple hours later. I do not have that exact information with me handy, i will have to get back to you. I will follow up, if you do not mind. Absolutely. We will get back to you. Anthony with main engine cut off on the phone. Thanks for taking the call. Jeremy, the crack on the core stage phone mentioned yesterday are there any areas on the core space that would be an issue, how are those monitored . We do a series of checks throughout launch countdown and the last attempt and this one, we do thorough inspections of the vehicle. Even minor defects are noted. There through our launch countdown, we have a team called cis that do inspections. They use High Definition cameras, things along those lines. Right now, we have done a full inspection of the vehicle, we have noted any nonconformances. They have cleared any of those for flight. Throughout the count, we have seen cryo pumping, we are going to do the same thing. If anything is anomalous, they turn a turn to a debris trajectory team to decide if we have concerns. They have standards and models to run it against. To answer the other question, 5 17 pm is the launch time, i believe it is a two hour launch window. 5 12, actually. 2 17, saturday. 5 12 on monday, no problem with that 90 minute window. To answer the question from below. A question here. Knowing everything you know, can you type bottom line, how confident are you that this is going to fly on saturday, how confident are you that this is going to fly before the tuesday windows . This is a test flight. Right . While i feel good about our procedures, when you look at the team in the eye, they are ready. We cannot control the weather. On any given day, there is risk. What i am looking at is, our team is ready. They are Getting Better with every attempt, actually performed superbly. During launch countdown number one. In my mind, if the conditions with leather and hardline we will arco. Probabilities go up if we get two it of before this window. I believe another one in the room, was there another hand . Over here. I am brandy campbell with fox weather. With the weather being favorable at 60 , how often have you had a successful launch at that rate . And, with that being the rate, do you foresee us waiting a wild for a good time to take off, or is there a chance we could take off at the beginning of the window . Excellent questions. I do not have the exact stats you are searching for, i can get back to you with that. I can tell you that on any given day, there is about a one in three chance that we will scrub for any reason, and out of those chances of us scrubbing, there is a 50 chance it is due to weather. Hopefully that is a stat you can take back. Can you remind me of the second part of your question . Yes, i was asking if there is a chance we might have to wait a wild for there to be a Good Opportunity for us to launch for the weather being 60 favorable. It is entirely possible. That is why i trended the forecast as such i did today, making it worse at the beginning of the window and or favorable at the end. It depends on that sea breeze and whether it moves inland as fast as we are expecting. If we are looking at the balloon data in the morning and that easterly flow is not nearly as established as we were hoping to see, we could run into a situation where we are read a little longer than we expect to be. Overall, that sea breeze tends to win out with easterly flow, regardless of how strong it is. We do not have any other questions on the phone, if we are done in the room then i think we can wrap up todays news conference. Thank you, jeremy, melody and everyone who asked questions. For more information on artemis one, we are going to pull up resources on the screen. A look at this website, follow us on the social Media Channels see.
