This is still "unofficial": the new launch date is September 3. There is also good reason to believe that it won't launch until September 6. In one of my previous postings, I put in launch window times. These were a bit misleading, because the window I described was about 5 hours long. There is an additional constraint not accounted for in those times: the crew is only allowed to sit in the unlaunched shuttle for a certain period of time. This limits the launch window to a maximum of 3 hours. Window opening times for: September 3 13:47 GMT 9:47 EDT September 6 13:49 GMT 9:49 EDT William LeFebvre Department of Computer Science Rice University <phil@Rice.edu>
