Apparently it is; as I write this the launch is holding because
of unacceptable cloud conditions. Whether this is for visibility

triggered by the rocket's ionized exhaust is not clear.

There's no live coverage; I'm following postings on
spaceflightnow.com which is depending on company announcements.
