Northern Territory rocket launch went ‘flawlessly’

Equatorial Launch Australia CEO Michael Jones says NASA’s rocket launch in the Northern Territory was a “momentous occasion”. He said the launch went “flawlessly” but Australia’s wind limit requirement caused multiple delays. “It’s mostly in the oscillation of the wind, so each time that happened we just called a halt, we reset the countdown clock at three minutes,” Mr Jones told Sky News Australia. “And the reason for that is that in the last 90 seconds of the countdown there is quite a number of checks and final signoffs to say we’re good to go for launch.” Via news.com.au — Australia’s leading news site https://www.news.com.au
