[MilCom] Fwd; [MilRadioComms] NASA 947 flying over Cape now

[AllanStern at aol.com]

Shuttle Training Aircraft (STA) "NASA 947" is up  over the Cape, simulating 
Orbiter landings in the event that they Orbiter  has to return to the Cape 
right after launch.
     At the moment, weather conditions at KSC  violate the standards for 
the Orbiter return to the SLF.
     There is only a 40% chance of launch  tonight.
     In addition, NASA technical folks are  considering the effect of some 
ice that was seen forming on some of the Shuttle  umbilicals.
