Last Opportunity to see a night launch from Charlie Elliott???

11 November, 2008 (09:14) | ALERTS, Events, Observing | By: tramakers

Shuttle Endeavour is scheduled for lift off from on Friday November 14 from Kennedy Space Center’s launchpad 39A at 7:55pm for mission STS-126. The Space Shuttle Endeavour will launch on assembly flight ULF2, and will deliver a Multi-Purpose Logistics Module to the International Space Station. with the number of shuttle launches counting down, this might well be the last opportunity to witness a night launch from Charlie Elliott.

The weather forecast for Friday evening is 67% clouds and 40% chance of rain, so chances to see the launch from here are low. However, if the weather improves, take a trip out to Charlie Elliott and see the blast off rise over the tree tops, something that not many have witnessed from the Atlanta area!!

Clear Skies,
Theo
