Launch of CloudSat/CALIPSO is tentatively planned for 27 April 2006 (fifth 
attempt) at 3:02 AM PDT (1002 UTC). Live coverage on NASA TV begins at 1:00 
AM PDT. In Fort Collins, NASA TV coverage will be shown live on cable channel 
11 (Comcast).  The Cloud Profiling Radar (CPR) is a 94-GHz nadir-looking radar 
which measures the power backscattered by clouds as a function of distance 
from the radar.
