The info-line at NASA Wallops Island indicated that conditions look good for launches tonight with a launch window of 21:30 EDT to 2:30 EDT tonight [01:30 to 06:30 UTC 24 June] for the 1st rocket. From the NASA website: "All four launches will occur in one night between 9:30 p.m. and 5 a.m., EDT, June 23 through July 10. There will be about 90 minutes between the launch of the first, second and third rockets. The third and fourth rockets will be launched about 10 minutes apart. The actual period between launches will be decided in real-time as the mission occurs." -- Cheers, Don Gardner 39.1799 N, 76.8406 W, 100m ASL http://hometown.aol.com/mir16609/ http://www.howardastro.org/ ----------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from SeeSat-L, send a message with 'unsubscribe' in the SUBJECT to SeeSat-L-request@satobs.org List archived at http://www.satobs.org/seesat/seesatindex.html
