 Hi All,  I'm glad to hear the enthusiasm about this event.  The launch was scrubbed tonight do to a Ground System issue.  The next attempt will be 12/28 at 1808 PT.  It's launching from Vandenberg Space Force Base near Santa Maria/Santa Barbara using a SpaceX rocket.  The payload is a Synthetic Aperture Radar for the Italian Government.  Here are a couple of links you may find interesting.

For those of you that are annoyed that I'm using this platform to inform about this event, I apologize.  Space X has launched and supported many amateur radio projects and I see these events as congruent to our hobby.Cross our fingers for clear skies again tomorrow!AnthonyKG6LHW.
