pad rat - 5/2/2008 5:12 PMBoth payloads are currently being shown on the same tail number. From that I would presume some contract negotiations are still underway.

GW_Simulations - 6/2/2008 5:18 PMMSDB is reporting a Minotaur launch scheduled for 1 March. Can somebody confirm that this is an error. I'm pretty sure the payload is already in orbit.http://msdb.honeywell-tsi.com/launches.asp
Satori - 6/2/2008 12:09 AMYes, it is... launch was on April 15th 2006.

GW_Simulations - 10/2/2008 5:41 AMCarrier rocket production will not increase unless there is demand, but demand will not increase much unless price decreases, which requires an increased production rate. It's catch 22.

eeergo - 2/3/2008 11:40 PMI'm a bit confused with SpaceX's manifest. Gunter said in the latest SpaceX thread:SpaceX delays Falcon-9 maiden flight by 6 months to late Q1 2009 and wins new Falcon-1 contract. The third Falcon-1 flight is scheduled for April 2008, the new contract flight for June 2008 and Razaksat sometime after this flight. http://www.flightglobal.com/articles/2008/02/27/221883/spacex-falco... http://www.flightglobal.com/blogs/hyperbola/2008/02/spacex-wins-usa...------------------So, is there a launch on April? In the official site there's a US Government launch for the 2nd quarter 2008, should this be the April one or is it the June launch listed here? What about the "ATSB" launch SpaceX talks about in its manifest? Some clarification would be greatly appreciated
