I tried to post this early this morning, but YORF wouldn’t open then (a prompt said that there was a database error). The penultimate Delta II flew perfectly, scoring its 99th success in a row (hopefully its final launch, next year, will make that an even 100)! Video coverage included the vehicle's build-up on the launch pad, the countdown and launch, and--from a camera on the second stage--the separation of the JPSS 1 satellite (which is working perfectly, as are the CubeSats that were deployed afterward). Below are links to an article, photos, and video coverage of the flight:

I hope this material will be helpful.
