"Gareth Slee" wrote in message m... Found on another group... ----------------------------------------- posts this article from Flight International of September 1976. It is sad to see that so very few of the aspirations have actually been achieved. SPACE SHUTTLE DEBUT. In order to keep costs down, the STS will be managed and operated like an airline, with scheduled flights into space leaving once a week from one or other of the two US launch sites. That was an interesting passage. ------------------------------------------------ DW |

(in article ): A single launch-pad at Kennedy will be available in 1979, followed by a second in June 1982; the first Vandenberg pad will not be ready before early 1983, with the second reaching completion by December 1986. Mission opportunities will be tailored to this schedule and to the Orbiter procurement plan. That's news to me - I never knew of plans for more than a single pad (SLC 6) at VAFB. -- "Fame may be fleeting but obscurity is forever." ~Anonymous "I believe as little as possible and know as much as I can." ~Todd Stuart Phillips www.angryherb.net |
