NASA Press Release
APL press release Space.com Article Coming up... October: communications checks November: hydrazine loading and Atlas V countdown rehearsal December: integration with Atlas V January: LAUNCH! No pictures on the KSC webcams yet. But still pictures here. Is that the flight RTG attached to the spacecraft? Or just a dummy? |

As I understand it, the only possible show-stopper now is that they still need official permission from Bush to launch that much plutonium. I'm sure he'll agree, once they've explained to him what Pluto is.

QUOTE (BruceMoomaw @ Sep 27 2005, 10:31 AM) As I understand it, the only possible show-stopper now is that they still need official permission from Bush to launch that much plutonium. I'm sure he'll agree, once they've explained to him what Pluto is. The problem I think is not the presidential approvation to launch NH, but the so-called 'ecologists' à la Bruce Gagnon. I still remember the protesters who tried to stop the launch of Cassini, Galileo and Ulysses even by judicial means, fearing a launch accident or something. live long and prosper Mauro |
