Poll - First Launch of Falcon9

Launch date and time now NET 5/16/2010, 1700-2100

Beancounter; where are you getting this launch data information?

My guess would be from here:
http://msdb.gsfc.nasa.gov/MissionData.php?mission=Falcon-9%20ELV%20First%20Flight%20Demonstration

So close......
deffinitly going to have to make sure I can find a live feed of it.

Good guess Marcus

Yes, just five days away now, if it doesn't slip again.

A lazy Sunday afternoon launch. Bring a picnic.

Rumour now says Air Force have ok'ed launch for 23rd May 1pm T-0. Different source to that listed before

Which source?

The NASA page is still saying not earlier than May 16.

http://spacelaunch.flatoday.net/ now says NET May 23

But according to "this week in space" on space.com, SpaceX still has the range on 16. and 17. - So IF Atlantis lifts off as planned, they could launch on the 16.
(you can find it here: http://www.space.com/common/media/video/player.php)

Sorry, but I can't reveal this source however did preface my post with the word 'Rumour' . No I'm not the start of it but can say that the 'source' has been very accurate in the past.

And I know all the normal info' conduits are saying the 16th but the 23rd is also a possible slot when you look at the other activities for the month.

Cheers.

Looks like it's now the 23rd at the earliest Usually get some notice of an impending launch 72 hours before however nothing from SpaceX so the 23rd may not be on the cards at the moment either.
Another factor is that there's been no word on the FTS being approved.

Anyone know the earliest date after 23rd?

Mission status now NET 23rd May.

Rumour: NET 3rd June.

*sigh*

at this rate it'll be christmass 2012 before they actually launch
