And the rocket's in sight again, on cam but too blurry to tell much.
'The chute just deployed" heard. GPS tracking steerable chute
apparently working to steer back toward the planned recovery point.
(Band width to back-country NM apparently a problem, their feed is down
to under 200 kbps now, not much vid detail.) Still descending.

Checklist continues, cam now on swivel (presumably for tracking), and lit and off... Looking good so far.

Looks like they're done with vehicle prep - they're moving the support truck away. T-5 minutes. And a "go for launch" poll underway.... All "go".

T-17 minutes, they just announced. (Yes, the youtube feed is back up.)
They also announced something interesting, which is (I paraphrase) that they regard this suborbital vehicle as an excellent low-cost way of building team skills for a future orbital vehicle. So Exos has further ambitions!

Running a bit late. As best I can tell from the checklist call-and-response in the feed, they've finished fuel-fill and are working on LOX fill. Launch relatively soon thereafter, I'd guess.

Does anyone know if EXOS is webcasting or live blogging their
launch today?
