What are the possibilities of inclement weather at the time of landing in Utah? Can the trajectory be adjusted to allow for landing at an alternate site?
There can be inclement weather for the Stardust landing but on average the January weather at UTTR is pretty good: only 6 days with visibility less than 7 miles, only 0.5 inches of precipitation, only 4 inches of snowfall, and the minimum mean temperature is 17 degrees F which will probably be close to our recovery temperature since the capsule comes in at 3 am. The trajectory cannot be changed to go to an alternate site – years of preparation and coordination are required to bring anything in from outer space.
