RBSP Launch Delayed

[Joel Sherrill]

Hi

For those who noticed the news, the Radiation Belt Storm
Probe(RBSP) satellites were not launched today due to
Hurricane Isaac.

The EMFISIS instrument on the RBSP is controlled by RTEMS.

I won't mention those who developed it by name just in case I shouldn't.
If they want to pipe up and share some details, I for one would be happy
to hear more.

I am sure I speak for the entire RTEMS Community when I say that
I hope the mission is a success.
