Launch date review
How dare they! These things never go on time! I cleverly, when the price was right, booked my flight early to attend the launch (proposed for the 12th of May 2009). Now they decide to bring things forward to the 11th of May. I will be landing at Sandford Intl....just as Atlantis STS-125 leaves the ground....Of course I wish them only Good luck...and the 11th hasn't been finalised yet see NASA release below. I'll be there for the landing at least.
Review Will Set Official Atlantis Launch DateFri, 24 Apr 2009 04:09:10 PM UTC+0100
NASA managers will hold a news conference at Kennedy Space Center in Florida on Thursday, April 30, to discuss the status of the STS-125 mission to service the Hubble Space Telescope, and to announce an official launch date. The briefing will begin no earlier than 6 p.m. EDT, after the conclusion of the Flight Readiness Review. Launch currently is targeted for May 12, but may be moved a day earlier. While the astronauts continue their mission training at Johnson Space Center in Houston, technicians at Kennedy's Launch Pad 39A continue to prepare Atlantis and its payload for launch.
