1. Oersted Launch Delayed till Wednesday
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
From: Kim Bisgaard (kib@dmi.dk)

To site James V. Zimmerman:
The ARGOS/Ørsted/SUNSAT launch was once again postponed after Air
Force meteorologists predicted that upper level winds would again
create unacceptable range safety conditions for launch early Tuesday
morning.

The Air Force will re-evaluate the wind and weather conditions Tuesday
morning California time.  If the situation improves (the current
forecast calls for better wind conditions), the Air Force and Boeing
plan to proceed with the countdown for a launch on Wednesday morning,
27 January.  The nine minute window for Wednesday will open at 02:35
California time.
