Hello: Although last Saturday's Delta IV/DMSP F-17 launch happened during dawn and the sky was relatively bright, the event was seen over a surprisingly wide area. I have organized and posted several launch observations on my web site. To read these reports, go to: http://www.spacearchive.info/vafbobs.htm The existence of the DMSP satellite program was declassified in 1973. The specific reasons for program's creation were officially revealed to the public within the past few years (http://www.aero.org/publications/crosslink/winter2005/02.html). An audio report on the DMSP F-17 launch, DMSP program history, and how DMSP data is used was recently broadcast. It is available at: http://www.spacearchive.info/delta-iv-dmsp-f-17.mp3 Regards, Brian Webb www.spacearchive.info ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subscribe/Unsubscribe info, Frequently Asked Questions, SeeSat-L archive: http://www.satobs.org/seesat/seesatindex.html
