Interesting tidbit: ESA's Pierrik Vuilleumier said they transported Sentinel-6B here by cargo ship to TX and then by truck to CA. Usually would do it by air, but cargo planes are in high demand to support war in Ukraine so needed alternative.

Weather is iffy both for launch day and the backup. Lots of rain in CA right now it seems w/three systems going through. For launch at 9:21 pm PACIFIC time tomorrow, Sunday (12:21 am Monday EST), only 40% go. A little better 24 hours later: 60% go.
