Very windy in Andenes, where the rocket is going to be launched. It is so windy we could not launch again today. There was a small auroral arc to the north of the island we could have just reached, but alas no luck due to winds. Here is a picture of our rocket on the rail It is surrounded by a foam box that they pump heat into to keep the solid rocket motor from cracking. For a sense of scale, you can see two folks by the door to the hanger. The photo was taken by Kolbjorn Dahle of the Andoya Rocket Range.
