                            LAUNCH STATUS
                            by Brian Webb

Tonight's launch of an Atlas V rocket from Vandenberg AFB remains on
schedule. The rocket is slated to lift-off from Space Launch Complex 3
at 21:24 (9:24 p.m.) PDT, the start of a launch window of unknown
duration, and carry a classified payload into orbit for the U.S.
National Reconnaissance Office

However, the odds of acceptable weather at launch time are
only 30% because of excessive winds. In the event the launch is
scrubbed, similar weather condition will persist Friday night and
over the weekend.
