NASA'S CLOUDSAT AND CALIPSO LAUNCH RESCHEDULED

The launch of NASA's CloudSat and CALIPSO (Cloud-Aerosol Lidar and 
Infrared Pathfinder Satellite Observations) satellites is rescheduled 
for Saturday, April 22. Launch is set for 6:02 a.m. EDT from 
Vandenberg Air Force Base, Calif. Launch commentary on NASA TV starts 
at 4 a.m. EDT.

Today's launch was scrubbed at T-48 seconds due to loss of the primary 
and backup phone communications between the Mission Directors Center 
at Vandenberg and the Centre National d'Etudes Spatiales Space 
Command in Toulouse, France. The communications loss is being 
evaluated.

Media covering the launch on Saturday should meet at the Vandenberg 
main gate at 5 a.m. EDT (2 a.m. PDT) for escort to the press site. 
Media needing accreditation for launch should call Staff Sgt. Allen 
Puckett at (805) 606-3595 at the 30th Space Wing Public Affairs 
Office.

A recorded CloudSat and CALIPSO launch status update is available at: 
(805) 734-2693.
