[Scan-DC] 11:10 PM RE: Wallops launch tomorrow evening

[Andrew Clegg]

Yes, sorry, ISS was 10:10 PM (about 5 minutes after the original launch
time). I understand the launch was delayed about an hour, but we were still
out observing at that time and didn't see anything. It was exceedingly clear
and dark here at Green Bank (one of the darkest areas on the east coast). We
are hoping for a repeat tonight.

Oh, sorry. I wasn't clear. I was referring to the ISS. 11:10 p.m. is quite
late to be seeing that, at least with the naked eye. It usually shows within
the hour before sunrise or the hour after sunset. I guess that in the summer
you can see it up until about 9:45. Anything after 11 strikes me as unusual.

It had gone into a hold due to an electrical issue. Did not launch until the
late hour.

At 11:10 p.m.? Pretty late for that. I've seen it on occasion, and it can't
be istaken for anything else. You know it when you see it.
