In the hope that this reaches at least some fellow See Satters in
time,tonights Atlas launch is on the pad,and waiting to go....time is 2315
gmt and they are just entering the 15 minute hold .

There is live coverage of the event on Panamsat 3R at 43 degrees west . The
payload is GALAXY VIII (i) satellite for Panamsat.

Pad images available on request.
