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? |

You got any word on how serious the possible storm damage to the booster was, Alan?

Bruce- It's only superficial. The threat to launch is the possible Boeing strike.

The Boeing strike should have no effect on NH processing (and certainly not Atlas processing). Like I said, there was no damage to the booster itself, only some ground equipment.

Like I said, there was no damage to the booster itself, only some ground equipment. To the contrary, the Boeing strike could effect processing of our Boeing third stage. We are actively working with KSC, Atlas, and Boeing, to mitigate possible effects, but there is no guarantee. -Alan |

I shouldn't doubt you of course :-) The stage itself is Thiokol, by the way, but I know it has a Boeing spin table and adapter attached. -------------------- |
