[oasis-members] Possible Vandenberg Launch

Thu Dec 6 16:08:28 EST 2007

Launch scrubbed at T-2 minutes, due to upper wind limits in "No-Go"
status.

Following last night's scrub, inspections of the rocket uncovered an
area of debonded cork insulation on the vehicle. Cork is used as thermal
protection on the Delta's outer skin. 

United Launch Alliance says the liftoff will occur no sooner than Friday
evening at 6:31 p.m. local time (9:31 p.m. EST; 0231 GMT), pending
resolution of the cork problem

Thanks, Craig. I went out and looked from where I work in El Segundo,
but fog rolled in from the ocean just minutes before the launch, so I
didn't see anything. Almost like something out of Steven King. Did
anybody see it?

	There's a launch scheduled from Vandenberg AFB tonight at 18:31.
A Delta II rocket is expected to loft the Italian COSMO-2 Earth imaging
satellite.  The launch window's only one second long, so there won't be
any standing around for a half hour waiting for a possible launch.  As
long as the weather stays clear, the launch should be visible from San
Francisco to San Diego.
