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. http://cloudsat.cira.colostate.edu/dpcstatusElements.php 1 99999U 03001 A 06111.48583912 .00000000 00000+0 17677-4 0 79 2 99999 98.2360 54.7003 0000937 274.3253 221.9703 14.61929339 11 Kevin __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
