All, T-150 minutes. Hope for a good launch! From east coast: Sunday, July 25, 1999 Update for 12:46:03 a.m. EDT T-minus 150 minutes. The terminal countdown for Delta 273 and Globalstar-5 is slated to begin at this time from the T-minus 150 minute point. Thirty minutes of hold time is built into the count - 20 minutes at T-minus 20 minutes and 10 minutes at T-minus 4 minutes. Boeing officials continue to target today's first window for launch. The three-minute period will open at 3:46:03 a.m. EDT. At launch pad 17A, the mobile service tower was rolled away from the Delta 2 rocket just after 11:30 p.m. EDT tonight. On a personal note, thanks to Boeing for a great up close look at the rocket during tower rollback tonight. The Delta looked impressive atop the launch pad, ready to soar skyward. There are no major technical problems reported and weather conditions look favorable for liftoff. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Saturday, July 24, 1999 Update for 12 p.m. EDT The Launch Readiness Review was successfully completed this morning as Boeing continues with plans to launch a Delta 2 rocket with four Globalstar satellites on Sunday from Cape Canaveral Air Station, Fla. Officials say there are no technical problems standing in the way of launch at 3:46:03 a.m. EDT tomorrow, the opening of a three-minute window. A backup three-minute window is also available at 6:44:03 a.m. EDT. However, the launch team can only use one window or the other, not both. A decision on which window to use will be made prior to the loading of liquid oxygen aboard the rocket's first stage at about 2 a.m. EDT. Air Force meteorologists say there is a 90 percent chance of good weather. Tonight, workers will roll the mobile service structure away from the rocket, and prepare the launch complex for the final countdown and launch. Terminal count is slated to begin at 12:46:03 a.m. EDT. The loading of RP-1 fuel into the rocket's first stage is scheduled to be performed during terminal count and not before tower removal. The launch team had performed the fueling operation early during recent launches to weight down the vehicle while it is exposed on the pad. Brian H.
