A Delta 2 7320-10 successfully
launched Earth
Observing-1, SAC-C, and Munin, from Vandenberg Air Force Base, pad
SLC 2W, at 1824:25 UTC on November 21, as a short 22-second
launch window opened.
Earth Observing-1 (EO-1) is the first satellite in NASA's New
Millennium Program Earth Observing series. Satelite de
Aplicanciones Cientificas-C (SAC-C) is a joint Argentina/NASA
flight. The Munin nanosatellite is sponsored by the Swedish
Institute of Space Physics. The flight was originally scheduled to
also carry Citizen Explorer 1 (CX-1), but the microsatllite was
removed from the manifest because it did not meet the deadline for
integration on the launch vehicle.
