Our #SSOA #smallsatexpress launch is delayed. Stay tuned! The waiting is the hardest part....
Wednesday's launch attempt of Spaceflight SSO-A from Vandenberg Air Force Base is currently no-go due to extreme high-altitude winds that violate Range requirements. Vehicle and payloads are healthy. We will announce a new launch date once confirmed with the Range.
