Saturday x 37 b launch update

Technicians continue working at the launch pad to examine the purge leak problem. They are hoping to get the situation fixed shortly so that fueling operations can begin on schedule.

So far, all the rainshowers are staying offshore today. Winds at the launch pad are persistent at about 20 knots and the gusts are expected to pick up into the mid-20s this afternoon. The exact limit depends on the specific direction the wind is blowing.
