Or the Titan 4 launch next week...

This ship could very likely be for telemetry relay for the launch. Although it would probably not be run by LockMart.
(I've edited my post having inquired to someone about what it could be; telemetry relay, albeit not range safety). [This message has been edited by Ben (edited April 24, 2005).] |

http://pressherald.mainetoday.com/news/local/050427mysteryship.shtml An updated article published this morning adds the Titan 4 launch as a theory. I am surprised NASA, if as they say, is not answering questions. Maybe it is a radar and telemetry for both. NASA tested out the new radar system on the MESSENGER launch last August as well, but that was local to Cape Canaveral. [This message has been edited by Ben (edited April 27, 2005).] | |
