  1. Launch window opens *52* minutes after the hour .. by Hulkster · · Score: 5, Informative
    The launch window actually open at 1752 EDT and is 174 minutes (a rather long one) until 2046 EDT (2152-0046 GMT).

    And the rocket would properly be called AC-166.

    This can all be seen at the SpaceFlightNow URL allready mentioned which is an EXCELLENT resource and really does have close to real-time updates when the bird is about to leave the pad.
