Scheduled Launch and UTC (Coordinated Universal Time)

Scheduled Launch and UTC (Coordinated Universal Time)

Product Line:  VERDE

As of VERDE/VERDEOS 8.2.6, UTC (Coordinated Universal Time) doesn't work like you would think.  If you're scheduling a launch for local time, remove any time offset.  Normally, I'm in the Central Standard Time Zone and would set my launches for UTC-5.  But, with the current version of VERDE, if it's for local, I remove the offset as you can see in the following screen shot.  With the following screen shot, my image starts at 12 noon and stops at 1 pm.
