Hi Jim,
Yes a very successful and smooth lift off to which I add my  
congratulations.
Some ball part times in seconds that I noted on the release of the  
satellites after lift off.
First satellite released approx 1095 secs, - second 1170 secs,- third  1260 
secs - fourth 1274 secs and finally 
Strand-1 at 1300 seconds after lift off.  the action took place  at height 
780km.
 
Based upon the initial posted keps on BBS the initial predictions for  my 
QTH in Wales ( UK)  give me 
pass times 1718 -1730  GMT and elevation 17 degrees. - The next  is a 
higher pass 1857 -1911 GMT elevation 74 degrees.
These  are only approximate and will depend on any issue of  corrections to 
the launch time and tracking.
Wish all  lots of good luck especially with Strand-1
