TDRS-H Launch Delayed until 30 June

TDRS-H Launch and Mission Information

Current Launch Date – June 30, 2000

Following the Tracking and Data Relay Satellite (TDRS) and the Atlas IIA (AC-139) Launch Readiness Review
today, NASA managers decided to postpone launch 24 hours to June 30 at 8:38 a.m. EDT. The delay is due to
additional time necessary to review data from an additional test required on the centaur-stage engines. The
pre-launch press conference set for Wednesday at 10 a.m. at KSC will go on as scheduled. Other media
activities including remote camera set-up will be postponed 24 hours. Additional information regarding the
mission and specifics involving the reason for the postponement will be addressed at the press conference
Wednesday.
