Here's a note from Mark Wade. I think he has one of the best, most comprehensive sites anywhere. (It should be noted in our faq, if it's not there already). ====================================== In regard to recent postings about sources for data on satellite launchings, Chinese LV specifications, etc. please note that my site http://solar.rtd.utk.edu/~mwade/spaceflt.htm includes: - All launches to orbit ever made; - Many suborbital launches; - Viewable chronologically, by launch vehicle, by spacecraft type, by space project - Mass and performance data on all launch vehicles ever flown to orbit and many proposed launch vehicles; My new listing of LV failures can be found at: http://solar.rtd.utk.edu/~mwade/articles/thelures.htm This is a resource sponsored by FPSPACE. At least those on the list should be aware of it!! ========================== --------- Regards, Jay Respler -- JRespler@surfnj.net Sky Views: http://njsurf.com/skyviews/ Satellite Tracker * Early Typewriter Collector Freehold, New Jersey
