Even more PSASque: a big chunk of the initial delay was due to FTS comms interference because they hadn't accounted for the umbilical tower's tilted launch position. After an hour of diagnosis, they fixed the problem by moving the FTS ground station to get a better line of sight. After one failed ignition and more delay chasing fishing boats out of the exclusion zone (which they do by dropping bags of flour out of helicopters onto the boats to get their attention), the other PSASque feature is finally launching right at the tail end of the four hour launch window.
