Genesis-II n orbit

Weather is splendid -- scattered clouds, mid-70's...

Success! Launch at 9:02 pm local (11:02 am EDT), against a
setting sun, Dnepr climbed into the sky to the northeast, and
fifteen minutes later deployed Genesis-2 into the correct orbit --
by all indications!

Now the local high school band is playing military marches.

And now it's up to the Bigelow mission control to get the payload inflated and under control...
