A quick question: For the first time in my life I might be able to see a launch live at the Cape. this one! I've wanted to do this since ah, 1962. Any updates on the launch? Is it still a go? Are the usual Shuttle viewing sites the best ones for a Pad 41 launch (assuming I have the right number)?
I know that launch times are not made public until more or less the morning of the launch, but does anyone have an idea when that is information is made public?
That's the window for RBSP in August. Don't go by Spaceport News.

Or perhaps they may all be white from now on. I don't quite think the paint has anything to do with the satellite...

See to the launch reservation zone:http://www.patrick.af.mil/shared/media/document/AFD-120406-075.pdfhttp://www.patrick.af.mil/shared/media/document/AFD-120406-076.pdfLow inclination.
That does leave the question of whether the change to a high-perigee GTO is simply taking advantage of the increased payload capacity that the EELVs offer, or whether L-27 and L-38 are fourth-generation satellites. It will be interesting to see if there is any change in the deployment orbits for HEO launches.
