This just in from NASA's virt. launch center:
"10:39 a.m. - The weather is green at this time and should remain so. If we were to delay until tomorrow there would be a 30% chance of a weather constraint. " http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/newhoriz...aunch/vlcc.html |

QUOTE (djellison @ Jan 19 2006, 04:35 PM) They have launched a 3-solids Atlas V, it's not that big a performance hike really. It might be the biggest ILS launch, but Lo-Mart (the major player of ILS) used to do Titan's did they not - some of them were very very big. Doug Are they all ground lit solids? If not, what's the sequence 3 then 2? If so, then it's not that different. Nick |

From Spaceflight Now:
QUOTE Today's launch window extends from 1:08 to 3:07 p.m. EST. However, there will be two points in time in which liftoff cannot occur because the rocket's trajectory would take it too close another object already in space. Those Collision Avoidance blackout periods, or COLAs, are 1:20 and 2:55 p.m. EST Any ideas what the object(s) are? -------------------- --O'Dave

Doug Thanks Doug BTW can you confirm my post (question) on "Hubble Versus Keck" topic? It would really mean a lot to me if somebody can... -------------------- The scientist does not study nature because it is useful; he studies it because he delights in it, and he delights in it because it is beautiful.

Harder is on line, all systems go here.
Last weather report fr Spaceflightnow was 1 hr ago - no problems. Is our own anchor person for weather updates from Florida already on line (MahFL)? I appreciated the regular wind updates a lot 2 days ago. |
