Nice run up we've had this last week! Maybe we should just keep slipping the launch day-by-day. NOT!
Here is the launch schedule, as I understand it, as of this date.
1- Fri 13th, Iridium attempts a launch out of Vandenberg on a Delta. Regardless of the outcome (unless catastrophe strikes) then,
2- Sat 14th, G* attempts a launch from Cape Canaveral on a Delta (Boeing is pushing the envelope on this a bit). If it is unsuccessful, then,
3- Sun 15th, G* attempts a launch from Cape Canaveral on a Delta. If it is unsuccessful, then,
4- Mon 16th will be downtime.
5- If by this time both Iridium and G* have not launched, there will be a big fight between them over who goes first.
BTW, launches out of the Cape at this time of year are notorious for weather delays, so, let's keep our fingers crossed!
