I thought this might be of interest. Launching with Deep Space 1 is SEDSAT one of the things they plan to do is take an image of the Delta II second stage just after satellite seperation. <Software for taking pictures of the Delta II second stage as we recede is looking good. It takes about 5 seconds from flipping the switch to imaging.> <No earlier than July 16: Boeing Delta 2 (7326) with NASA's Deep Space 1 spacecraft from pad 17A at Cape Canaveral Air Station, Fla. Launch Time approximately 6 p.m. EDT (2200 GMT). (Could slip to July 21 or after).> There site is http://www.seds.org/sedsat Regards Steve Daniels brixham@rmplc.co.uk
