06-Nov-04 | Next launch
The next Delta II launch will be NASA’s Swift, presently scheduled for 17 November, and clear to be moved to SLC-17A now that Delta 308 has safely departed the neighbouring pad. Swift (not an acronym, but named for the small, nimble bird) is a gamma-ray observer that will have the capability to turn itself rapidly and view the afterglow of bursts in that wavelength.
