I think the window closes in 20 minutes. Very unlikely they will launch tonight. I was a rough night for the controllers. -- Craig Gernaey wg6g@wg6g.com http://www.wg6g.com ---- Via the amsat-bb mailing list at AMSAT.ORG courtesy of AMSAT-NA.

They did do a launch abort but they still might be able to launch this evening. At least an hour delay so earliest launch is now about 8:40 PM, PST, at the earliest. My messages here are being delayed by the server by at least 20 minutes, and counting.

Again, we will be at Vandenberg AFB with the launch of five amateur related satellites. We attended the pre-launch briefing and pad viewing yesterday. The rocket is indeed impressive, however one hundred feet away the fog was so dense as to obscure any real detail! It would certainly be nice to remember this event as the first launch of the year 2000. If all goes well, this will indeed be the case. Countdown continues as only weather related problems might cause a delay. If the fog layer becomes so thick as to cause a reflective layer to form such that if the missile were to be distroyed on the pad substantial energy would be reflected downward. Then a delay would be imposed. Apparently in the past, several thousand windows were broken! Many have asked what caused the delay last November. This was an easy to understand failure, a filter capacitor shorted in a magnetron power supply. The amateur command station is in place at W6QJ's location. We spent all last night improving the system with N7SFI, AA6IW of the OPAL project there. As always, changes were being made at the last minute. I'll not be able to transmit from the launch area but we will post what is heard from JAWSAT on orbit one at approximately 0445 UTC. W7RAQ will act a relay for us in this effort. 73 all!
