Regarding my last blog post on the new satellites programed to give us cloud information, the satellite launnch has been posponed due to bad weather at the launch site in Vanderberg Airforce base in California. At the waether report for 6 a.m. they found higher than normal levels of upper winds.

NASA, not wanting to risk anything, postponed the launch untill wednesday at 6 am. However many meteorologists say that judging on the information they are receaiving now, it may be too soon becausthe upper level winds still may be too much to launch.

I think that the date that was reset may betoo soon aswell. the new technology would bring us so much good information and i think they should definatly wait until a good day launch.
