How will you serve your community on #MLKDay? We're feeling inspired by our interview with TJ Kim, the high school student who used training flights to deliver medical supplies and PPE to rural hospitals. Listen at bit.ly/3aC5gnu. #MLKDayOn

The upper stage has shut down as planned and will coast for about 30 minutes. Then, NewtonFour will relight to circularize the orbit before we deploy our payload. In both a literal and figurative sense, this is miles beyond how far we reached in our first Launch Demo.

Our flight profile for this mission is identical to our first Launch Demo. Cosmic Girl is headed due southwest from Mojave to our drop point just south of the Channel Islands. Once there, we'll enter into a loop that we call the "racetrack" as we wait for final go/no-gos.
