Project: Ivins.
Mission Objectives:
  1. ​Rendezvous with Ivins 2.

We've placed tail fins at the back of this rocket, even though we've had several successful launches without them. If the margins are that close anyway, it's not worth the risk.

The weather is also more fair today, in case upper level winds were responsible.
