    Thanks  Ted!  
    So . . . if the launch happens say, around 01:00 UTC it could  attract some 
    attention as the
    resultant contrail catches the light of the  setting Sun against a twilight 
    sky.  
    
    This is what  Spaceflightnow.com currently has posted:
    
    Launch time: TBD 
    Launch  site: Pad 0B, Wallops Island, Va.
    
    The Air Force Minotaur 1 rocket will  launch the Operationally Responsive 
    Space 1, or ORS 1, satellite. ORS 1 will  support the military's 
    intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance needs by  hosting an innovative sensor 
    system. Delayed from Dec. 10, January, April 6, May  20, May 30, June 10 and 
    June 13.
