On afternoon Thursday, first of March 2018 it’s the ULA-United Launch Alliance … Launching from on a Marvels Krysten Ritter’s Jessica Jones New York afternoon evening Time’s at 1702 Hours Eastern Standard Time.. least Ten Kilometers more from the NASA-KSC’s iconic Launch Complex 39A, is launching from Space Launch Complex 41 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station is the AtlasV 541 configuration rocket.. in which NASA-KSC’s Iconic twenty years lease to SpaceX is transitioning to become the testing template for the Falcon Heavy also towards the interplanetary –Spaceliner-BFR rocket that will head towards the rusty planet Mars, also using reusable for intraplanetry travel in least amount of time between cities on Earth.. Like from Hong Kong to Auckland in least that thirty minutes…

Manufactured by Lockheed Martin, arriving last year at NASA- Kennedy Space Center during the last quarter 2017, transported on US Air Force C-5- Super Galaxy cargo aircraft… in which was transported prepare towards the United Launch Alliance Vertical Assembly building SLC-41- Space Launch Complex 41… in which is vertically assembled with all the components together..  In which it’s previous sister GOES-R in which was launched November 2016…  in which the assembly of the components of Atlas V 541 is vertically assembled in the Launch Vehicle and Testing Spacecraft mate integrations center, integrating at the VIF- Vertical Integration Facility … then the modified Atlas V541 is stationary on its pad while the VIF is rolled out to its launch distance position..

The modified Atlas V 541 series in which provides the carrying services for the NOAA-GOES-S- GOES17 weather Satellite is launched from a first stage Atlas V core powered by the mightily RD-180 engines with supporting lift is the four Solid Rocket Boosters  with a secondary  Centaur Staging Powered by RL10C-1 engine….

NOAA –National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration– GOES-S Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite-S is a series of second out of four satellites that’s dedicated for the NOAA‘s next generation series of advance weather satellites in which the series will be placed in Geo Stationary orbit in which it’ll be rebranded from GOES-S to GOES-17 in which it’s data observation collection provisionment is to analysis with its sophisticated sensing instrument installations detecting lighting, Solar imaging and space weather monitoring.. Also it provisions real time observational data to asses in almost real time of extreme weather events of thunderstorms, tornadoes, Typhoons-cyclones-hurricanes and flash flooding… also other variants of hazards that comes as fogging, dust storms, volcanic eruptions and forest fires

#ULA- #UnitedLaunchAlliance |#ATLASV #NOAA in the company with #GOESS the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite …. That gives more extreme weather reporting in real time…

Under construction also testing currently at the moment in a car – Aircraft manufacturing type line is the construction of eighty one Iridium Next Satellites in Orbital ATK‘s Gilbert Arizona Satellite Manufacturing facility… As Orbital ATK is under contract from Thales Alenia Space to manufacture eighty one satellites to replacing its aging Constellation Satellites in which it was launched from a series of SpaceX falcon nines reusable carrier rocket booster that launched from its Vandenberg air force base also another location from the Iconic NASA’s launch complex 39A, in which launched the Saturn five Apollo mission to the moon, then converted to the STS-Space Transportation System-Space Shuttle mission..

Iridium Next Constellation is built from very ground up like assembly of building from a ground up of an aircraft or a car… in which the satellites are designed for LEO- Low Earth Orbit in with back up, also spare parts…. As with the LEO- Low Earth Orbit of 780 Kilometers above earth to allow shorter transmission paths also with given stronger signal gains of a LEO with a lower Latency, shorter registration time than having a GEO- Geo Stationary Orbit..  With the numerous clusters of the Iridium Next network in LEO, it’ll will minimized the empty spots therefore increasing the area coverage of continuing communications with overlapping communication coverage spots to minimizes dropped connections and various types of communications….  As the network is in LEO travelling in orbit at 27360 Km/hour it cover more communications requirements in each orbit takes 100 minutes ….

The Next launch of the IridiumNext cluster of ten satellites per launch is targeted for Ninth October 2017 with SpaceX Falcon Nine at Vandenberg Air Force Base (VAFB) in California at 0537 Pacific Date time Californian morning..

On 24th September 2017,  West coast- California time is the United Launch Alliance of NROL-42- National Reconnaissance Office Satellite, launching from the West Coast Californian coast line from Launch Complex three from Vandenberg Air Force Base… The launch window of the Atlas V 541 opens at 2238 hours Pacific Date Time…

Featuring in the commentary for the launch, is Amanda Kuker, is talking throughout the process… in which it the whole process of the launch of NROL 42, did had some issues, but the issues was resolved rapidly… as the launch did had some issue prior in the battery replacement on the Atlas V booster carrier rocket.. Due then, the weather was favourable for the night time launch as the initial launch process was actual to launch on 21st September 2017, in which was launch slated, Due to the nature of the payload the live webcast stream of the launch stream was only broadcast till before the flaring was deployed..

The client is the National Reconnaissance Office Launch Enterprise- Air Force, in which the NROL-42 is launch from an Atlas V 541 configuration, in which the primary stage is an Atlas V, with four core solid rocket boosters, in which the primary carrier stage is powered by a RD-180 Engine, with a secondary Centaur Stage is powered by a Areojet Rocketdyne RL10C-1 Engine..

The NROL-42- is a Data observationally data gathering communications assessment satellite in which one of many purposes is also assessments of weather observation also earth environmental sciences of data analysis natural disasters, earthquakes, tsunamis, flooding’s, and fires… also provides the provisions of communications of supporting peacekeeping and humanitarian relief operations..

As for the next United Launch Alliance for NROL 52 is slated for 5th October 2017 from Space Launch complex 41 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Florida  with the launch window at 0300 to 0700 Eastern Morning Date time  with the Atlas V 421 rocket configuration…
