The only citation I can find for the launch time does not specify that it went off exactly at 00 seconds, so I have changed the value in the start date template. Apparently, the template still emits 0Z without seconds specified [1]. Workaround is to purposely introduce an empty parameter #6.

This is not a discussion. Your edit reverted the wysiwyg start-date and end-date templates in favor of the much less readable {{start date}}.
