DO NOT launch if precipitation
(visible rain, virga, or minimum
discernible weather radar echo)exists in the flight path.
OK
Shuttle Temperature Rules
7/30/2019 PRES Shuttle Operations
32/47
VALUES IN TABLE ARE RELATIVE HUMIDITY IN %
Key:
Green - i.e., no violation
Conditional - i.e., Green or Red depending upon relative humidity
Red - i.e., violation of minimum air temp criteria

(@ 10 ft seas recovery forces crew into
survival mode)
Steady-state wind forecast > 26 Kts(higher probability of booster damage upon
impact)
