Trip to View STS-122 Cancelled

Due to continued forecasts of cloudy weather at Titusville, FL and NASA predicting only a 40% chance of launch on Thursday, Feb 7 I have decided to postpone my trip to photograph this launch. The weather looks marginal for Friday as well with Saturday looking clear. However, I have prior commitments here in Greenville on Saturday that preculde an attempt other than on Thursday. STS-123 is scheduled for March 11, 2008 at 2:31 a.m. est. While a night launch certainly would be spectacular, my goal is to photograph the shuttle in daylight as it heads out over the Atlantic on the way to the International Space Station.
