Am I reading it right? Launch in less than 2 weeks at the Atlas site? 🙂
And what about a 35000 foot waiver in July?

Launching at Atlas in June would be new for me. Either there’s a mistake in the calendar or there’s something unusual about the North site availability this year.

From what Joe has said, the rancher wanted to do some special grazing or something at the north launch site in June, so we have been placed at the Atlas site for June flying. You have read correctly and it is not a misprint.

Atlas site for June launch is correct. Grazing issues and footprint impact from MHM big considerations – was discussed at January meeting and arranged accordingly. Windows available again for July North site launch.

🙂 It feels kinda novel to be at the Atas site in June. 🙂
My toes will not be freezing on the concrete pad for the frist time.
I will not be jumping back in the truck to warm up, which usally happens there. It will be a little different. 🙂

What is the ceiling at the Atlas site? I also see there is a research launch the next day – is static testing allowed?

12,000′ last I checked. Static tests have always been allowed as fire conditions permit. Given the concrete pad and recent moisture, I would expect no issues.
