    The cloudsat and callipso satellite will be launched tommorow ( Apr 21 ) using a delta 2 rocket.
    
    Launch time is 10:02 UTC. The launch window is only 1 second. This is because of the need to
    insert them into the proper orbital plane, so they are part of the "A" train.
    
    Here's a predicted orbit for cloudsat, from the cloudsat homepage.
