From Readware Sun 2-8-98 AOL Subject: 11:30PM Date: Sun, Feb 8, 1998 4:47 AM From: Readware Message-id: <19980208044701.XAA09000@ladder02.news.aol.com> Winds have been very gusty, ranging from 12 to 30 mph today on the surface, and as high as 35 mph in the upper atmosphere, altho at 10PM the upper winds were at 20. The AirForce weather office at 10PM Cape Time does report that their computer model still forecasts expected below launch rule winds for tomorrow morning. While the Cape skies are relatively clear right now, there is concern about cloud density as the dawn breaks. Dense clouds are bad for a launch b/c of the possible "lightning effect". The AirForce weather office still indicates a "go" for the launch, although a dense cloud cover would prevent a launch from occurring. I am just reporting what the weather office said as for the launch's likelihood of occurrence-- still 90%. Earlier in the day, in the morning, the cloud cover was not an issue for the computer model. As for the comment on FRTK before-- Daimler Aerospace makes SpaceSystemsLoral's antennae.
