Updates: Parker Solar Probe/Delta IV Heavy launch slip; viewing tickets

Update #1: As stated by NASA, the Parker Solar Probe launch is now NET August 6th, slipping two days due to a situation encountered during encapsulation of the probe. A new launch time will be announced shortly, but it will be roughly the same time, somewhere around 4:30 am. Keep an eye on the usual sources for more details and updates. NASA Social attendees, please note that your schedule has been impacted by this change; you should have gotten an email with information about this change already.

Update #2: Our team member John Eric has noticed that Exploration Tower seems to be selling VIP Launch Tickets to view the Parker Solar Probe launch on-site. Tickets are available through their website at explorationtower.com, but as of this moment the tickets still show the launch date as August 4th; it’s advised that you should wait until they’ve updated their information before making your purchase.

Stay tuned for more info and updates!
