[net.columbia] Launch schedules

micro@iwu1a.UUCP (Hauck) (10/01/85)

Does some one have a schedule of any satelites launches in January?
Or if a shuttle is scheduled to go up then?  My husband and I are
planning a trip to Flordia in January and my husband would love to
see either one, just a space launch.
Thanks in advance,
Mary Hauck

I think it would be a very nice gesture if someone who has access to them
would post the launch schedules on some kind of regular, ongoing basis. This
kind of request is becoming nearly continual, and it turns out that right
now I have a similar need for information. I think the most use could be
gotten if the current schedule could be posted at a frequency of a few days
less than the frequency that most sites clear out their "held articles
file".

Thank you. {flames to /dev/hell}

Another suggestion would be to post the schedule once a month with an
"Expires" header line that will keep the article from being munched in
two weeks (the default at many sites).

	This document comes out about three times per year and is the
more or less authoritative payload flight assignments.  As for launch
schedule, that depends on the day-to-day occurences at the Kennedy
Space Center.  No one knows when the shuttles will really get off the
ground.
