STS-36 Launch Status Report
10:15 a.m. EST Friday, Feb. 23, 1990
Weather conditions continue to be unacceptable for cryogenic
tanking this afternoon which would be required for a Staurday
morning launch attempt. The RSS will remain around the vehicle
to protect it from forecasted severe weather, including rain and
high winds.
The weather front is expected to pass through the KSC area this
evening, with conditions improving on Saturday. A decision has
been made, therefore, to delay an additional 24 hours, aiming for
a Sunday morning launch between midnight and 4:00 a.m.
Flight surgeons have cleared crew Commander J.O. Creighton for
flight. He and pilot, Col. John Casper, are flying the Shuttle
Training Aircraft this morning.
