August 13, 1991 The following tables give the parameters of the CRRES releases. The first table is the time and location of each release done to date. The second table gives the chemical makeup of each canister. The "DELAY" column is the time in excess of the normal 25 minute delay. All chemical weights are in grams. The last is a listing of the orbital elements which are appropiate for each release.
