WEATHER SATELLITE LEAVES LAUNCH PAD FOR HEALTH CHECK
---------------------------------------------------- After spending eight months on the launch pad, the newest U.S. weather observatory has been detached from its Delta 4 rocket booster and returned to the hangar for precautionary health checks before liftoff is attempted again. http://spaceflightnow.com/news/n0602/22goesndestack/ LOCKHEED GETS LIGHTNING MAPPER CONTRACT --------------------------------------- The Lockheed Martin Advanced Technology Center has been awarded a $2 million, 12-month contract by the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center to proceed to the formulation phase for the Geostationary Lightning Mapper instrument that will fly on NOAA GOES-R Series environmental satellites. http://spaceflightnow.com/news/n0602/22goesr/ -------------------- "After having some business dealings with men, I am occasionally chagrined,
and feel as if I had done some wrong, and it is hard to forget the ugly circumstance. I see that such intercourse long continued would make one thoroughly prosaic, hard, and coarse. But the longest intercourse with Nature, though in her rudest moods, does not thus harden and make coarse. A hard, sensible man whom we liken to a rock is indeed much harder than a rock. From hard, coarse, insensible men with whom I have no sympathy, I go to commune with the rocks, whose hearts are comparatively soft." - Henry David Thoreau, November 15, 1853 |

As it left the pad, I noticed how 'singed' all the first stage insulation looked - more than half the height of the first stage was brown and black. Because of the GEM's - one couldn't really see if the insulation around the base of the first stage was burning as it did with an earlier Delta IV however.
