NASA's Shuttle and Rocket Launch Schedule
A variety of vehicles, launch sites on both U.S. coasts, shifting dates and times... the NASA Launch Schedule is easy to decipher by checking out our Launch Schedule 101 that explains how it all works!
Updated -- Sept. 18, 2009 - 8 p.m. EDT
Legend: + Targeted For | * No Earlier Than (Tentative) | ** To Be Determined
2009 Launches
Date: Sept. 23 *
Mission: STSS Demonstrators Program - Missile Defense Agency
Launch Vehicle: United Launch Alliance Delta II
Launch Site: Cape Canaveral Air Force Station - Launch Complex 17, Pad B
Description: STSS Demonstrators Program is a midcourse tracking technology demonstrator and is part of an evolving ballistic missile defense system. STSS is capable of tracking objects after boost phase and provides trajectory information to other sensors. To be launched by NASA for the Missile Defense Agency.
Date: Oct. 31 +
Mission: Ares I-X Flight Test
Launch Vehicle: Ares I-X
Launch Site: Kennedy Space Center - Launch Pad 39B
Description: The Ares I-X flight test is NASA's first test for the Agency's new Constellation launch vehicle -- Ares I. The Ares I-X flight will provide NASA with an early opportunity to test and prove flight characteristics, hardware, facilities and ground operations associated with the Ares I.
Date: Nov. 12 +
Mission: STS-129
Launch Vehicle: Space Shuttle Atlantis
Launch Site: Kennedy Space Center - Launch Pad 39A
Launch Time: 4:22 p.m. EST
Description: Space shuttle Atlantis will deliver components including two spare gyroscopes, two nitrogen tank assemblies, two pump modules, an ammonia tank assembly and a spare latching end effector for the station's robotic arm to the International Space Station.
Date: Dec. 7 *
Mission: Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE)
Launch Vehicle: Delta II 7320
Launch Site: Vandenberg Air Force Base - SLC 2
Launch Time: 6:10 – 6:23 a.m. PST
Description: This mission will survey the entire sky in the mid-infrared with far greater sensitivity than any previous mission or program ever has. The WISE survey will consist of over a million images, from which hundreds of millions of astronomical objects will be cataloged.
The ISS orbits at an altitude of approximately 350 kilometres (220 mi) above the surface of the Earth

They released the CHEMICALS at 176 miles above earth. Isn't the
edge of space at something like 150 miles.
Also. Who gave them the right to pollute the atmosphere?
Also, look at NASA's launch schedule.

Notice, it was updated Sept 18th. The day before the launch. Why wasn't the launch on the schedule?
The official story is full of holes, as usual.
