We are exactly one hour away from liftoff time of the Delta IV Heavy rocket carrying a national security payload designed, built and operated by the National Reconnaissance Office. The rocket is fueled and its 8 cryogenic tanks are being conditioned for launch.

Thanks for posting this. I would have missed it.

The Delta IV Heavy rocket is the nation's proven heavy-lifter and the only rocket capable of launching NROL-44.

Oh GOODIE. Another NRO/DeepState eavesdropping satellite to be used to spy on US.

I sure hope there are patriots in charge of this mission.
To: MtnClimber
Is there a site other than Facebook or Twitter for watching the video?

The Automatic Determination and Dissemination of Just Updated Steering Terms, better known as the ADDJUST file, is being loaded into the Delta IV Heavy rocket’s Inertial Navigation and Control Assembly (INCA) flight computer by the flight control operator here at the Launch Control Center. This is the planned steering parameters for the INCA to use based on today’s upper level wind conditions.
A series of weather balloons has been launched throughout the countdown from the Range weather station at Cape Canaveral to collect measurements of wind speeds and directions to determine if conditions aloft violate the controllability or structural loads on the rocket during ascent. The balloon data was transmitted to ULA engineers in Denver to select a steering profile that minimizes launch vehicle responses.

Sorry, MtnClimber, I meant to reply to your initial post. :)
To: MtnClimber
They just showed a bunch of previous NROL launches, including NROL-65 and NROL-71 to my surprise. What kind of numbering system are they using if today’s launch is NROL-44? Or is this some kind of time travel launch?
