Here are a few additional Delta II/Aura items:

  - The Aura mission scientist told me a couple of weeks ago that Aura's
    orbit was specifically chosen Aura and Aqua would pass over the
    same area 15 minutes apart.

  - The Delta II probably won't fly in a straight line immediately after it
     lifts-off. I believe it will do a dog leg maneuver that carries it a safe
     distance around some oil drilling platforms several miles downrange.

  - The ground track, launch azimuth, etc. should be in the Boeing
    Delta II/Aura Media Kit. I was told they are going to put it on the
    Boeing web site today.

Regards,
