    Arianespace has given a date and time for the upcoming ATV launch:
    
    www.arianespace.com/site/news/news_sub_missionupdate_index.html
    
    It is now scheduled for 4:23 UTC, 8-MAR-08. (Did they shift it by two days 
    from its former 6-MAR date because of the USA 193 event?)
    
    With this date and time the ATV would exit Earth shadow some 23 minutes after 
    liftoff while over France and in full view of much of Europe. Let's hope for 
    some clear skies over here at the time!
