An exact launch date has not yet been set. Clear skies to you. -------------------- David W.

[Re: redragon745]       #2563279 - 08/06/08 03:44 AM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   Oops, looks like the launch of LRO has been swapped with the military payload of the Air Force's X37B reentry vehicle, so LRO will launch in February of 2009. Oh well, it will still be nice to see an Atlas 5 take off (and maybe watch the X37B landing at Vandenberg if they allow TV coverage). Clear skies to you. -------------------- David W.
