Aura Postponed 24 Hours To July 11
Vandenberg AFB CA (SPX) Jul 09, 2004 Earlier this week, engineers began reviewing whether suspect transistors affecting an unrelated non-NASA mission may be aboard the Aura satellite and Delta II booster and if this could have any effect on the mission. Yesterday, the Flight Readiness Review was reconvened. Spacecraft engineers decided that an additional day was needed to complete their review, though it was determined that there is not concern with the Delta II booster. The live, interactive Aura Web cast on NASA Direct! will continue as scheduled today at 5:30 p.m. EDT (2:30 p.m. PDT). The pre-launch press conference has been rescheduled to tomorrow at 3 p.m. EDT (noon PDT) in the main conference room of the NASA Resident Office at Vandenberg Air Force Base and will be carried live on NASA Television. Media covering the press conference should meet at the Vandenberg south gate on California State Road 246 at 11:30 a.m. On launch day, July 11, programming on NASA Television will begin at 4 a.m. EDT (1 a.m. PDT) with the start of cryogenic fueling of the Delta II. The launch commentary will begin at 4:30 a.m. EDT (1:30 a.m. PDT).
