On 28th September 2019, the thirty two year anniversary of the airing date for Star Trek the Next Generation in which featured the pilot episode of Encounter at Far point , in which takes place after the crew of Captain Kirk command the Constitution Class USS Enterprise in which seventy years later it’s the Galaxy Class Enterprise commanded by Captain Picard..
SpaceX – Today in a Cameron County Texas, marks a testing starting point of the process of a newly development towards a larger reusable launcher carrier rocket in which it was named the Big Falcon Rocket a reusable in which it has its own classification of as a Starship Super Heavy Lift Launch Vehicle.. In which designed as a multi-purpose vehicle akiness of the Space Shuttle.. Functioning as Mars Colonization, Earth Lunar Transportation, Multiplanetary Transport, Intercontinental transport, orbital launcher, with space tourism… in which also acts as a mass satellite deployment device… The design comes with two staging the carrier rocket with the secondary stage, in which with all a reusable landing mechanisms….
During the past few months it was also the testing lift off to landing of the propulsion unit of its newly developed Raptors Engines a larger version of the Merlin engines with a length of the fifty meters, with a body diameter of nine meters with a ship dry mass of eighty five tonnes.. Designed out from advance stainless steel shell… In which resists high temperatures, with rugged ceramic tiles for re-entry maximum heat areas in which the heat shield is designed for long term with low maintenance support rapid production and installation..
With the primary stage the Super Heavy with six landing legs, thirty seven raptor engines with a body diameter of nine meters, ship length of sixty eight meters, using the experiences on the Falcon Heavy reusable carrier rocket… in which it should be interesting to see how its variants differ with engine cluster increase depending on mission types..
On a New York Wednesday 24th July 2019…. It’s the launch of the SpaceXReusable Falcon Nine Reusable Carrier Rocket in which is launching its eighteenth Commercial Resupply Services Mission known term CRS-18, launching from SLC 40- Space Launch Complex at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station- Florida.. on 1824 hours Eastern Date Time – EDT in which during the flight of the launch, nine minutes after the launch the reusable payload Dragon module in which that payload module will makes it connection point to the very aged ISS –International Space Station…..in connection on Friday to complete the resupplying… In that connection it’ll dock at the Harmony section with geocentric orbit at low earth with an inclination of 51.6 Degrees…
CRS-18-Dragon Module has been used previously in CRS Six mission in 2105 April , 2017 December during the flight of CRS-18 the first staging of Falcon Nine Reusable will make a landing onto to a non-traditional landing onto LZ One- Landing Zone One at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station- Florida ….. in which traditionally landings have been on off shore Drone ships stationary berth in between east and west coast of California and Florida……
On 24th June 2019, on a New York Monday it’s the Launch of SpaceXFalcon Heavy Reusable, from that NASA- Kennedy Space Center in Florida’s least than twenty year lease of that iconic Launch Complex LC 39A- Launch Complex 39A that launched the Iconic Saturn V Lunar Rocket, also the Iconic golden age STS- Space Transportation System –Space Shuttle….. Launching from that flight now is the Falcon Heavy Reusable powered by twenty seven might merlin engines.. In which previously Falcon Heavy’s side boosters for the STP-2 mission previously supported the Arabsat-6A mission in April 2019. Following booster separation, Falcon Heavy’s two side boosters will attempt to land at SpaceX’s Landing Zones 1 and 2 (LZ-1 and LZ-2) at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida. Falcon Heavy’s center core will attempt to land on the “Of Course I Still Love You” drone ship, which will be stationed in the Atlantic Ocean.

DSX
The Air Force Research Laboratory’s Space Vehicle Directorate’s Demonstration and Science Experiments (DSX) spacecraft will conduct basic research on the harsh radiation environment of medium-Earth orbit (MEO). DSX will perform three primary experiments:
The Wave Particle Interaction Experiment (WPIx) will resolve critical feasibility issues for very-low frequency (VLF) wave-particle interaction.
The Space Weather Experiments (SWx) will measure and map the distributions of energetic protons, electrons and low-energy plasma in the inner magnetosphere to improve environment models for spacecraft design and operations.
The Space Environment Effects (SFx) will determine the MEO environmental effects on common electrical components, circuits and materials. This includes NASA’s Space Environment Testbeds (SET) experiments. SET will characterize how radiation driven by the Sun impacts hardware over time, paving the way for mitigating the effects of solar activity on spacecraft design and operations.
