During the launch of Space Shuttle Discovery on STS-133. The launch countdown was put on hold and then realeased at the last possible second. The hold was caused by a computer outage from the Eastern Range. I never new what the Eastern Range did or what it was until today when I found this article on Florida Today. The Eastern Range tracks every launch from KSC and CAFS. I'm sure they can't talk about everything they do there but here is a glimps into the Estern Range. Enjoy
