Congratulations to the launch team and all the engineers and scientists who put this mission together! IRIS is in orbit, & the solar panels deployed. Gary Kushner reports: All separations were successful. We have power on both solar arrays. RWAs [reaction wheels] have powered up. We finished detumble and are now in Coarse Control, pointing on the sun. Orbital placed us in a nearly perfect orbit. We are still on TDRSS [satellite handling data relay] and will see Svalbard [one of the tracking stations, in Norway] in about 30 minutes.
