Gleaned from the video news: STS-28 launch set for Tuesday Aug 8, 1989 between 7:30-11:30 am (EST?). Actual time to be announced 9 min` before. To deploy secret Air Force recon sat to cover 80% of USSR. Is` this a replay of last December's Atlantis/LaCrosse event? I have done some preliminary orbit calcs and found that for my location at least the opportunity for visual acquistion is not good.
