They have the details of the upcoming atlas 5 launch at http://www.ilslaunch.com/launches/cbin/Mission_Overview/atlas/AMC_16_MO.pdf http://www.ilslaunch.com/newsarchives/newsreleases/rec286/ Looking at that info, it appears it will be night for people like Tony Beresford at the time they do spacecraft seperation. After that they say Centaur Collision Contamination Maneuver (CCAM), but don't show any fuel blowdown, ie fuel dump. I find it strange that it wouldn't do a fuel dump after, allowing for a cool cloud to appear like this past aug:) I noticed in past reports for atlas 5 launches, they no grapics showing a fuel dump. What, have they quite doing them with atlas 5 upper stages. Kevin __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Send a seasonal email greeting and help others.
