SMD Controller: SMD would like to report that the spacecraft is on internal power and it's configured for a launch at 15:02:00.
NASA Launch Manager: Copy, SMD. MSL is configured for launch.
While I have your attention, I want to wish the entire team that supported MSL good luck and Godspeed.
It's been a long, challenging journey getting here and we're proud to start you on the way to Mars shortly. NLM out.
SMD: Thank you very much NLM, we really appreciate the thought.
Launch commentator: This is Atlas launch control, 90 seconds out of coming out of this built-in hold at T-4 minutes.
Once we lift off, we'll be hearing our telemetry manager Rob Gagnon from United Launch Alliance
calling the flight events as the vehicle heads downrange.
At T-4 minutes and holding, with a minute and a quarter remaining in this planned, built-in hold, this is Atlas launch control.
