Weather at the Loretta Launching Location
What's the Loretta Launching Location, you ask? See Book 1, page 134!
Up on the roof is a Davis Vantage Pro 2 weather station (picture below all the data). The software uploads the current weather every 15 minutes, with the last upload being at 4:02pm on 7/23/08, U.S. Mountain Time. (If that time seems a little flooey, it may be because my home computer is turned off and therefore not uploading.)
For those of you who are really into details, check out these two additional pages:
