Atlas 2AS Launch

[blacknebula]

Spaceflightnow has listed the launch of a classified NRO payload on the final Atlas 2AS launch, as indefinite, delayed from July 27.'<br /><br />Has anyone heard why this occured? Would one assume that the launch date is kept classified ( don't believe so ) or that problems have arised in the spacecraft or rocket?

Its my fault....I was planning on taking a trip to Jetty Park to watch the launch.

 

[blacknebula]

Hehe, I was going to try to catch the launch too.

You gotta come down--its the last of the ICBM based Atlas'. A 47 year long history comes to an end on August 31.

Is the holiday near then going to cause big trouble getting a place to stay?<br /><br />Wayne <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p>"1) Give no quarter; 2) Take no prisoners; 3) Sink everything."  Admiral Jackie Fisher</p> </div>

Interesting. I wonder how long a drive it is from here (Navarre), and if anyone from here that is on the way?<br /><br />Wayne <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p>"1) Give no quarter; 2) Take no prisoners; 3) Sink everything."  Admiral Jackie Fisher</p> </div>
