In California, Solano County planning commissioners decided to postpone until Dec.6 consideration of a proposal that would add another 88 wind turbines to some 700 already on the hills above Travis AFB, Calif., reports The Reporter. Air Force officials fear there could be a potential hazard from adding additional turbines and urged planners to hold off until the base had installed its new aircraft-control ASR-11 radar system and gone operational, which is set for fall 2008.
York Space Systems said it has confirmed the health of 21 satellites that launched July 16 as part of the Space Development Agency’s data transport constellation.
