OUTCOME + OUR CALL
Official outcome: Launch successful
RocketScan did not analyze this launch before it flew - no call on record.
Scoring rule: a launch that reached flight means the countdown proceeded, so a GO or HOLDING call is right and a SCRUB call is a false alarm. Only the last call made before T-0 counts.
CALL TIMELINE (0)
No verdicts were recorded for this launch. RocketScan only calls a countdown when someone opens it in mission control.
