rdale - 27/3/2008 6:58 AMThis just in, from Traci Watson of USA Today... In today's (Thursday March 27) paper:"...the congestion in space can lead to headaches. The European cargo ship and the shuttle use the same radar frequency for communications [radar?], forcing the European ship's launch to be delayed until after Endeavour blasted off. [uhh, ATV went first.] After lifting off, the Jules Verne could not approach the station but had to loiter in orbit, burning precious fuel..."It it really that big of a fuel hit to wait for shuttle departure? Where'd she get this from?
eeergo - 28/3/2008 8:16 PMIs any kind of coverage for the DemoDays 1 and 2 expectable? Jules Verne will get fairly close to be seen by the cameras on ISS, especially on DemoDay 2, and the escape burns should be pretty spectacular.
