The
launch window extends to 12:00 Noon EDT (1600 GMT) but weather conditions are marginal to support a launch attempt this morning. The official launch weather forecast has been downgraded to only a 40 percent probability of acceptable conditions for launch the primary concern is a stationary layer of high clouds around 25,000 feet that are currently violating the 'triboelectricification' rule, atmospheric conditions that could create static electricity as the rocket flies through. The ARES 1-X is 327 feet high, second only to the Saturn V which was 363 feet and which you can see at the
US Space and Rocket Center in Huntsville, Alabama.
