[sci.space.shuttle] STS-28 rollout and countdown test

ronk@PEDEV.Columbia.NCR.COM (Ron Kraynick) (07/18/89)

Has NASA released any more definite of a date for the launch
of STS-28 other than the first week of August?  What are the 
chances of the launch coming off during this week?  I will be
in the area during the first week of August and would like to
see the launch.  Since this is a DOD launch, are the normal
viewing areas closed to the public?  

I was in Huntsville this past weekend and watched a test firing
of one of the main engines.  I can only imagine what the main
engines plus the SRB's going off must be like.  

Let me know what you can about the schedule.  It would be 
greatly appreciated.
