Most likely NASA weather surveillance. On launch day/night the weather coordinator flies a T-38 and the Shuttle training aircraft to feel out the weather conditions.SplinterStrike wrote:

One thing I'm wondering though is whats that steak orbiting around on the first, fourth and sixth shots?
I can't wait until they launch the Ares V, that thing is bigger and more powerful than the Saturn V, I never thought they'd make anything that big ever again. Fucking hugeTravisC555 wrote:

"Live from the ATK Test Facility in Promontory, Utah 1:30 PM - 2:15 PM CST" is what it says now. Only about 5 mins away.
Edit2: You can also watch the Ares I First Stage Motor Test on NASA TV.
Edit: They pushed the launch back to Friday August 28 at 11:59 pm EDT.
