QUOTE (Toma B @ Jan 17 2006, 06:54 PM) 1852 GMT (1:52 p.m. EST) A Lockheed Martin spokesman says the upper level wind issue is actually at an altitude of 800 feet. Attempts to develop a flight profile to withstand the current wind conditions failed the past two tries, he said.  That sounds like its going to be a scrub for today, with bad wx tomorrow too |

Engineers have determined the first stage liquid oxygen fill and drain valve issue is not a constraint. The issue is understood.  |

This link has some good info on the Atlas. I may have misquoted about the copper... "The Atlas common core is made out of aluminum with an anodizing process for protection which gives it its characteristic bronze color." http://www.interspacenews.com/sections/fea...nch_vehicle.htm  |

The first stage tank is Copper Anodised Aluminium. " Anodising successfully combines science with nature to create one of nature's best metal finishes. It is an electrochemical process that thickens and toughens the naturally occurring protective oxide. The resulting finish, depending on the process, is the second hardest substance known to man, second only to diamond" |

The in wheel suspension looks very complex, hope they can withstand the shock of landing, if this is indeed the final wheel design. |
