SpaceCat - 18/1/2006 3:19 PMGradually clearing out now- 100 miles down the coast. No work escape for the Cat today- but we'll see about tomorrow if they decide to try again.After staring at them for hours yesterday, found this little article about the pad lightning protection systems interesting:http://www.aero.org/publications/crosslink/summer2001/05.html
DaveS - 18/1/2006 11:12 PMWe are go for a launch tommorow! Officials met at 4 pm to discuss whether they should go ahead with a launch tommorow or not and they decided to press on for a launch tommorow between 1:08 pm EST and 3:07 pm EST. Weather should ideal tommorow so barring any technical hitches, New Horizons will leave planet Earth bound for Pluto and beyond tommorow at 1:08 pm EST!
