Advantage through knowledge.
The #NROL70 patch features the quiet but strong snow leopard to personify how NRO offers a distinctive advantage to our nation, partners, and allies in space.

С технико-экономической точки зрения, эта ракета совсем не стала шедевром ракетостроения.

[Брабонт]

Неважно. Она была мощной и красивой

До времени подъема #NROL70 осталось ровно два часа. У нас зеленое табло статуса для #DeltaIVHeavy и площадки, но погода остается КРАСНОЙ.

Завершается загрузка топлива для создания ракеты весом 1,6 миллиона фунтов для запуска в 14:45EDT (1845 UTC)

The countdown is entering the planned hold at T-minus 4 minutes to sync up with our target launch time of 2:45pmEDT (1845 UTC). #DeltaIVHeavy is fully fueled and we are not working any technical issues, but watching the winds for launch of #TheDeltaFinale.

Запланированная пауза в обратном отсчёте...
... и ждут у моря погоды.
