[Spaceflight Now says,] Blustery winds howling across California's Central Coast are threatening to interfere with launch countdown preparations for Wednesday morning's liftoff of the two-stage Boeing Delta 2 rocket carrying the NOAA-N weather satellite. "There's some challenges. We expect the wind to be pretty high," NASA launch director Omar Baez said. Mission managers held the Launch Readiness Review on Monday, affirming plans to proceed with work leading to liftoff at 1022 GMT (6:22 a.m. EDT; 3:22 a.m. PDT) from Vandenberg Air Force Base. However, the weather outlook is a source of concern. --------------------------------- But if it does go, here is the NOTAM: Current Notams Data Current as of: Tue, 10 May 2005 13:06:00 GMT KZLA LOS ANGELES A0151/05 (05/039) - RESTRICTED AREA ACTIVATED CARF NR. 575 ON 2 ROPS AIROP DO-0324 STATIONARY RESERVATION WITHIN AN AREA BNDD BY 3428N 12039W 3430N 12048W 3446N 12042W 3444N 12033W WITHIN AN AREA BNDD BY 3406N 12059W 3424N 12053W 3420N 12036W 3402N 12043W WITHIN AN AREA BNDD BY 1334N 12702W 1917N 12546W 1859N 12419W 1316N 12538W SFC - UNL 11 MAY 10:07 UNTIL 11 MAY 10:58 [Repeated for 12 May] ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subscribe/Unsubscribe info, Frequently Asked Questions, SeeSat-L archive: http://www.satobs.org/seesat/seesatindex.html
