[amsat-bb] NOAA-16

["laura halliday" <marsgal42@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

According to sources (e.g. http://www.spaceflightnow.com),
NOAA-L lifted off successfully from SLC-4W at Vandenberg
AFB at 1022 UTC today. It had been delayed a couple of
times and scrubbed the day before (equipment problems),
but it's now in orbit and undergoing on-orbit checkout by
NASA before being handed over to NOAA.

Congratulations to all involved on a succesful launch!
