TzT Posted July 11, 2009 Report Share Posted July 11, 2009 Resulta que el viernes un rayo impactó en la plataforma de lanzamiento y están revisando los sistemas. Según la nueva hora el lanzamiento será en torno a la una de la noche del domingo al lunes Por supuesto estará disponible en Nasa TV: http://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/nasatv/index.html Careful Testing Under Way After Lightning StrikesSat, 11 Jul 2009 05:59:52 PM GMT+0200 The launch of space shuttle Endeavour was postponed until Sunday evening so engineers could evaluate the spacecraft's myriad systems following 11 lightning strikes in the Launch Complex 39A area. None of the strikes hit the shuttle or its external tank and solid rocket boosters, but there were strikes to the lightning mast and water tower. The launch pad is equipped with a lightning protection system of wires that is intended to steer bolts away from the shuttle. "We've seen nothing so far that shows anything affected any of the systems," said Mike Moses, chairman of the pre-launch Mission Management Team. Two of the strikes were strong enough to trigger an evaluation by engineers just to make sure all of Endeavour's systems are ready for flight. Although early evaluations showed no problems, engineers wanted more time to make sure they have checked everything correctly. "We need to be 100 percent confident that we have a good system across the board," Moses said. The launch time for Sunday is 7:13 p.m. EDT. The weather forecast calls for a 60 percent chance of acceptable conditions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TzT Posted July 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 Pues nada, otro retraso... yo si estuviera en la nasa ya la habría pasado el predictor, porque esto ya mosquea Endeavour Launch Rescheduled for WednesdayTue, 14 Jul 2009 12:53:38 AM GMT+0200 Liftoff of space shuttle Endeavour on the STS-127 mission has been rescheduled for Wednesday, July 15 at 6:03 p.m. EDT. Today's attempt was canceled due to poor weather conditions within the launch area at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Anvil clouds and storm cells containing lightning flared up toward the end of the countdown, violating stringent launch safety rules. Pues nada, queda para las doce de la noche del miércoles al jueves... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
