When the temperature is below 35 degrees the Shuttle will not be launched. If the temperature is between 35 and 48 degrees, the following table is used to determine if the combination of temperature, wind and humidity is acceptable. All values used are based on five minute averages. The above table determines acceptable conditions if parameters have been out of limits for thirty minutes or less. If longer than thirty minutes, a mathematical recovery formula is used.
Conditions are acceptable when the formula reaches a positive value.
