ULA Launch Director James Whelan has announced that Space Force Mission Director Col. Erin Gulden directed a scrub and we will not continue with countdown operations today. Another launch attempt will be possible tomorrow at 6:00pmEDT (2200 UTC). bit.ly/av_ussf12
We remain in a "no go" status for liftoff due to adverse weather conditions in the local Cape Canaveral area. Countdown clocks are holding at T-minus 4 minutes to wait for the storm clouds to clear. We have until 8pmEDT (0000 UTC) for #AtlasV to begin the #USSF12 mission tonight.
🔴Live now: Tune in for the new Wide Field of View GEO satellite launch! WFOV is @SpaceForceDoD and @USSF_SSC’s testbed spacecraft, created by Millennium Space Systems, to explore new early detection technologies and techniques.

Tonight, Millennium Space Systems alongside @ulalaunch and @USSF_SSC are launching new national security capabilities. The Wide Field of View GEO satellite can continuously evaluate up to one-third of the Earth's surface.
Broadcast begins at 5:40 p.m. ET: clips.im.allmendenetz.de/RGnlt-vto7o
The Wide Field of View GEO satellite, designed by Millennium Space Systems, will test ways to collect and report early detection defense data.

Crawler-transporter 2 has made its way up the launch pad 39B slope to take its place underneath @NASA_SLS, @NASA_Orion, and the mobile launcher in preparation to roll Artemis I to the Vehicle Assembly Building. First motion is expected to occur at 8 pm EDT go.nasa.gov/3uaRSl1
We are capable of deep-space travel.
Soon, the @NASA_SLS rocket and @NASA_Orion spacecraft will launch on the uncrewed #Artemis I mission around the Moon, paving the way for astronauts and inspiring a new chapter of exploration. nasa.gov/specials/artemis-i/
In 1958, @Spectrolab_Inc enabled the first photo of Earth 🌎 from space with its body-mounted solar panels installed on Pioneer 1. Today, Spectrolab's XTJ solar cells convert solar energy into usable electricity aboard #Starliner.

Over the weekend, teams successfully tested the thrust vector control system for the @NASA_SLS boosters ahead of #Artemis I.
At the end of this week, @NASAGroundSys will return the rocket and @NASA_Orion spacecraft to the Vehicle Assembly Building: go.nasa.gov/3u9RnI3
Delve into the details of this week's #AtlasV#USSF12 mission. Launching Thursday at 6:00pmEDT (2200 UTC) from Cape Canaveral, the rocket will deliver two U.S. national security satellites into geosynchronous orbit for the @SpaceForce_DOD.

A moment in history.
#OTD in 2021, the third and final spacewalk to install the first pair of iROSA solar arrays was a success! The arrays, a partnership with @BoeingSpace, will provide a 20-30% power boost to @Space_Station and allow even more science + exploration in space!
⏰ Join us today at 11am ET for a media teleconference to discuss next steps for the #Artemis I mission with the @NASA_SLS rocket and @NASA_Orion spacecraft.
