Launching a space mission is a complex and massive operation. The balancing of public and mission safety concerns is extremely important. Besides the ordinary employee safety issues such as: hearing and eye protection, radio transmission frequency triggers and fire, NASA must identify and protect the public.
Today's planned launch will be televised on NASA TV and cane be viewed from a large area on the US Mid-Atlantic seacoast.
