“…… Look that’s not a Rocket explosion – It’s just a rapid unscheduled disassembly…”

On That December 2015 successfully landed the SpaceX – Falcon nine reusable first stage Carrier rocket, on first successful land landing on landing zone one on Cape Canaveral Air force Station in which average takes ten minutes to land from the Launch pad in NASA-KSC from that Iconic LC 39A Launch complex 39A that launched the Apollo – Saturn five rockets to the STS- Space Transportation Systems Space Shuttle mission in which that Launch Complex has undertaken onto a different era of Space Transportation specs..  As for the other First Successfully Drone Ship landing is on April 2016…

As for Successful landing, come with numerous trials and tribulations that’s coming a massive learning curve in getting it right…  The Right Stuff….!

2013 September – Hard impact on ocean

2014 April – First Soft water landing

2014 July- Second soft water landing

2014 July- Breaks Apart After Tipping

2014 August- Engine Sensor failure

2014 September- Ran out of liquid oxygen

201 January- Ran out of Hydraulic Fluid

2015 April – Sticky Throttle Valve

2016 January- Landing Leg Collapsed

2016 March – landing burn failure

2016 May- Radar Glitch

2016 May- Landing legs Damaged

2016 June – Ran out of Propellant

#RocketLab #MadeInNewZealand | #StillTesting – flight number two – stage one stack static Rutherford engine testing.

Recently late August 2017 , Auckland Based, Made in New Zealand- Rocket Lab, has recently tested for its second attempt test certification launch for its New Zealand Homemade Electron Carbon fibre Rocket with, it’s innovative 3D printed oxygen/ kerosene Rutherford Engines for its primary components in which clustered to same mirroring pioneering propulsion systems like the Soyuz’s daisy Clustered engines which has a component  print time averagely of twenty four hours..

Previous the first test certification flight nicknamed “it’s a Test” was launched in 25th May 2017.. on the east coast of North Island, at Mahia peninsula in which launch complex one, New Zealand made constructed in the same manner like Space X’s Falcon nine’s also the Roscomos Soyuz’s Launcher carrier transfer pad tractor rocket system to launch pad facilities..

As part of the second static testing was to solve any further issues that resulted from the first flight in findings it was a telemetry data loss issue that lead towards the termination of the “it’s a Test’ first certification flight in which was corrected as part of investigation as Rocket Lab testing out the essentials it’s preparing for its second certification testing flight in which is coming soon..

Ten minutes after the launch of the SpaceX – CRS11  from coast sunset afternoon on a Saturday   3rd June 2017  that t NASA- Kennedy Space Center Iconic launch Pad –LC- 39A on bound on the par taking resupplying the International Space Station with various supplying with 60,000 Pounds of supplies critical materials parts, in endeavoring with two hundred and fifty investigative experiments supplying expeditions 52 also 53 the reused CRS-11 Dragon Module was used previously in a CRS-4 mission on September 2014……. Ten minutes after the launch, the Falcon Nine reusable begins it traditional of two textbook landing decent onwardly to Landing  Zone one 15 Kilometres from the NASA-KSC launch complex 39A at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station…..

#ESA – EUROPEAN SPACE AGENCY | # Arianespace #VA237 – ViaSat-2 and EUTELSAT 172B – two payloads within one Launch – Highlights of that spectacularly nighttime launch …

As on 1st June 2017, ESA- European Space Agency – Arianespace has launched during a night time launch that spectacularly lit up the surround tropical forest of the Guiana Space Center in French Guiana in the hours of 2045 hours local time…… launching spectacularly from the launch pad is the Arianespace five Heavy Launcher rocket from Arianespace- CSG- Europe’s Spaceport in in Kourou, French Guiana……

On that local time night time Ariane Flight VA237 launch is launching two payloads within one launch… it common now to see multiple payloads within one launch as to cut cost, also that satellites technologies have improved over the decades making high quality satellites smaller and cost effective.. As in this launch of two payloads, ViaSat-2- ViaSat INC also EUTELSAT 172B- Eutelsat in which both manufactured In collaborations with  Boeing and Airbus Defense and Space made   internet – tel-communications satellites are placed in Geo stationary orbits..  In which ViaSat-2 provides the provisionment of high velocity data in between all Americas also Atlantic Ocean aswell providing internet – mobile – inflight communications to maritime, emergency operations…..   In which EUTELSAT 172B provides the provisionment towards the Asia-pacific region as well its orbiting positioning can be altered to mission requirement needs with the used of it innovative electric propulsion systems…..

As the building up to the to the launch window during the 22nd of May 2017, there’s been few weather related setbacks but none of technical issues came across towards the final launch that happen on the 26th May 2017, in which on a partially clouded day with the right launching environmental weathering criteria, The Launched of the Rocket Lab was initiated nicknamed “IT’S A TEST”  As New Zealand has become the ninth space industry country to be commercially  soon in launching payloads into orbit,  from New Zealand  north island west coast line in Mahia Peninsula from it  firstly New Zealand’s home-grown constructed Electron Rocket launch complex facilities.. In which taken from many inspirational designs from the early days of NASA, SpaceX, also from the Soyuz rocket launcher systems…

With is their sleek All Black sporting flag colour like Air New Zealand’s 21st Century livery that’s now iconic.. so is now the Rocket Lab’s Electron rocket comes with many New Zealand made innovations, in the hulling shell of the rocket is made out from durable sleek Carbon fibre with its innovative home grown clustered Rutherford Oxygen-Kerosene 3D printed Engines in which akin to the same design linage to the Soyuz, SpaceX, Blue Origin engine clustering…. The Electron is interesting innovative it’s takes many elements of Plug and Payload in which the payload make it easier to install at the Assembly building facilities.

As Rocket Lab’s Electron Rocket starts with in currently certification process in various launch testing that been in currently previously done from its first launch, in progressive process in creating its own standard in launching various of payloads, this show the simulated potential of the of the Electron deploying its first payload from a two staging rocket system in getting low orbit payloads accessible into low earth orbit..
