LAUNCH PAD 39B BOASTS COMPREHENSIVE WEATHER SYSTEM

Launch pads on Florida's Atlantic Coast face some of the most extreme weather conditions of any launch complex. Everything from lightning and hail to hurricanes and occasional frost make it important to meteorologists to get accurate data to back up their decisions. If they don't, acceptable launch windows could be missed, or worse, unnecessary risks could be taken.


A new comprehensive weather instrumentation system on Launch Pad 39B at Kennedy Space Center is providing up-to-the-second and extremely accurate measurements at different locations and altitudes. The improvements are expected to produce increasingly detailed launch criteria that could lead to more on-time liftoffs for a variety of rockets in the future.

  1. As claimed by Stanford Medical, It's in fact the SINGLE reason women in this country get to live 10 years longer and weigh 42 pounds lighter than us.

    (And realistically, it has absoloutely NOTHING to do with genetics or some secret exercise and absolutely EVERYTHING to "how" they are eating.)

    P.S, I said "HOW", and not "WHAT"...
