80% chance of acceptable weather conditions for tomorrow's launch FLORIDA TODAY Space Online Delta/Globalstar-4 Launch Journal flatoday.com From countdown through spacecraft separation this page will keep you informed with the latest on the flight of a Boeing Delta 2 rocket carrying four Globalstar communications satellites. These updates are prepared by Space Online's Justin Ray. For complete stories, images and multimedia files from FLORIDA TODAY, as well as official news releases, see our Space Today page. Wednesday, July 7, 1999 The Boeing launch team is readying a Delta 2 rocket to carry another cluster of four Globalstar communications satellites into space. Liftoff will be possible during one of two launch windows: 5:17:37 to 5:20:37 a.m. or 8:17:07 to 8:20:07 a.m. EDT (0917:37-0920:37 or 1217:07-1220:07 GMT). Officials will select one of the windows prior to loading liquid oxygen aboard the rocket's first stage on launch morning. A decision to proceed with the first window would come around 3:30 a.m. EDT. Air Force meteorologists say there will be an 80 percent chance of acceptable weather conditions on Thursday. The threat will be coastal rain showers in the area. Here is an overview from Tuesday's weather forecast: "Surface and upper level high located north of FL to continue deep east-southeasterly flow over the next couple of days. Upper level low pressure currently east of the Bahamas will move westward across southern FL over the next 24-36 hours. Dry, subsiding air ahead of this low will inhibit shower and thunderstorm activity until mid day on Thurs. Once this upper low moves west of FL, the moisture depth will again increase as well as the coverage of showers and thunderstorms. Main concern for launch will be a slight chance of a coastal shower moving in the proximity of the pad. The forecast calls for scattered clouds at 3,000 and 15,000 feet, visibility of 10 miles or better, southeasterly winds at 5 gusting to 10 knots, a temperature of 76 to 78 degrees F for the first window and 80 to 82 degrees F for the second and humidity of 80 percent. Should the launch be delayed for some reason, the forecast for Friday and Saturday shows a 60 percent chance of good weather on those days. -Justin Ray This World Wide Web site is copyright © 1999 FLORIDA TODAY.
