All remains "GO" for the launch of Landsat-D' and UoSAT-B
from Vandenburg Air Force Base in California.  The arm plugs
have been inserted in UoSAT and the launch tower rolled back.
Launch is scheduled for a 6 minute window starting at 17:59 UTC;
WA3NAN will carry audio coverage starting 1/2 hour before launch
on 14.280 and 21.280 mhz.

Assuming a nominal orbit, the first pass visible to the eastern
US will occur just after 7pm local time.  Frequencies are
the same as UoSAT-Oscar-9: 145.825 on 2 meters, and 435.025
on 70 cm.
