Space Forum / Shuttle / May 2006Confidence level of a July launch ?
Is there now a high degree of confidence that Discovery will be able to make the July launch window ? Or are there still enough loose ends that there is still a significant risk of NASA having to postpone launch to the next window ? I realise the oods are high of a scrub or two due to weathert or some bad switch somewhere. But once the vehicle is at the pad, are the chances good that it won't have to return to the VAB ? Buzz is good.... there's pad in the prep schedule... buy your plane tickets now.... > Is there now a high degree of confidence that Discovery will be able to > make the July launch window ?

They fix it, like last time. > and if they find on launch day, that the sensors in the tank still play > up, what then? Oh so they will order the computer to ignore a out of fuel situation? I think they are go for launch, because of GO FEVER! They fear futher delays will end everyones job.......... |
