Second Stage Stage Burn coming up next. The slight roll is on purpose for thermal conditioning. Now nulled ahead of the burn.

The 2nd burn will be just 24 seconds in duration, starting at T+50:50, targeting a circular Sun Synchronous Orbit 830 Kilometers in altitude, inclined 98.7°. #DeltaII http://bit.ly/2mqnnYf

T+plus 51 minutes, 15 seconds: SECO 2! The Delta II has performed its circularization burn by the second stage, a brief firing designed to finish pushing #JPSS1 to desired orbit.

Telemetry from the Delta 2 rocket indicate it achieved an orbit very close to pre-flight predictions.

D2/JPSS1: The 2nd stage will begin releasing 5 small cubesats in about 24 minutes, but the primary goal of the flight has been accomplished; standing by for JPSS 1 solar array deploy

While we're waiting for the #DeltaII second stage to restart, let's talk CubeSats! We have 3 P-PODs containing 5 CubeSats flying on this mission. They were selected by the NASA CubeSat Launch Initiative and are collectively known as ELaNa XIV. Learn more: https://go.nasa.gov/2zPdfh4

The #DeltaII second stage used the cold gas system to perform an evasive maneuver. This is a planned sequence to avoid collision between the & #JPSS1 and contamination of the from gases

The #DeltaII second stage has completed its avoidance maneuvers and is now back in coast mode. Re-start is planned at the T+75-minute mark to set up for CubeSat deployment.

Spacecraft separation and solar array deployment are CONFIRMED. #JPSS1 is power-positive and on its own in orbit!

#DeltaII is carrying five CubeSats: two 3U CubeSats (MiRaTA, Buccaneer RRM) and three 1U CubeSats (MakerSat 0, RadFxSat, Eagle Sat).
