New date for the launch of LCROSS Mission

[valmirmmorais]

Dear Friends:

The NASA announced that the LCROSS Mission should not be launched
before May 20, 2009.

“NASA now is targeting May 20 for launch instead of April 24 after
another Atlas V government launch, which is scheduled for liftoff in
March, experienced technical problems and was delayed. It will use the
same launch pad that LRO/LCROSS will use. “
