“…… 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

On a wintery frozen 5th August 2017 Auckland – New Zealand night just before the Full moon, the Moon was heading into its ninety percent Waxing Gibbous in which, in the following proceeding days there was a Partial Lunar Eclipse in motion on in between the seventh, eighth of August 2017 as seen in Already Tomorrow in Hong Kong webcast by the Hong Kong Space Museum morning of Seventh to Eighth- Tuesday of August 2017…..  As the Moon Luna was motioning through towards the Full Moon, as it was in the abundances in-between Constellations of Libra, Scorpio also closely nearby the wintery Planet Saturn, in which viewing through a very good telescope you could see is Galilean Moons Dione, Titan, Hyperion orbiting around its parent ringed gaseous planet Saturn averagely one light hour ago, averagely one billion kilometer away from Earth, that Elliptically orbits around the Sun..

As there are much to see of the Moon Luna, as she reveals her cratered lacy embroidery A-line Wedding dress in which that Tapestry embroidery woven to tell more of the storylines of the Jade Rabbit, the stories of NASA’s Apollo Mission on Tranquility also serenity also how much a modest impact of Tycho created a an immeasurable aftermath timeless impression on the surface on the moon..  Among just before the full moon you can see the outline Luna Circumferences cratered silhouettes edges….

#SPACEX #CRS11 | Commercial resupply servicing to Resupplying the International Space Station- Highlights…

On a gorgeous nearly east coast sunset afternoon on a Saturday   3rd June 2017,  it is the eleventh Commercial resupplying servicing mission  to the international Space Station… the Space X- CRS 11 launched without any issues on that day in which was a textbook launching from that NASA- Kennedy Space Center  Iconic launch Pad –LC- 39A ..  In which during the launch it’s the landing of the first stage of the Falcon nine reusable landing proceeding ten minutes into the launch in which will land about 15 kilometers from the launching site at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station on Landing Zone one. with a textbook landing. ..

The CRS-11 is the one hundredth flights from the Iconic Launch Pad that serviced the Apollo Luna Mission also the STS- Space Transportation Systems- Space Shuttle missions in which makes the mission to the international space station a centennial celebration also it’s the first relights Dragon CRS Module as it was launched deployed the reused Dragon resupplying module is expected to arrive at the International Space Station of fifth of June at the Harmony Module…

As Dragon- CRS-11 docks  with the International Space Station, it 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…….

#SPACEX #SES10 | #FALCONNINE – reusing a tradition after launching communications satellite –landing on a drone ship that always “Of Course I Still Love You”

On 30th March 2017, Space X just recently launched a Communications Satellite SES-10, an Airbus Defense and Space built on the design framework of the Eurostar 3000…. As it was launching on that New York time evening of 1827 EDT From that Iconic NASA-Kennedy Space Center Launch Complex 39A that launch the Lunar Mission to the Moon, the Saturn V Rocket also modified into the STS- Space Transportation Systems- The Space Shuttle in which now it’s being tailored for a different dress style cut, that Dress Style cut is to Launch the SpaceX Falcon heavies, ultra Heavy, to the Interplanetary Transport System that will lead onwardly to the Planet Mars..

As part of the Design process, of reusability of various key booster rocket carrier launcher, in which SpaceX, Amazon-Blue Origin have successfully cat walked with wearing stilettos on landing a reusable carrier rocket booster on either on a static or dynamic landing platform, this case it’s a Dynamic Drone ship “Of Course I Still Love You” in which two minutes and forty one seconds after the seconds into the flight the first stage and secondary stages separates then one major momenta events of two is landing on an off shore Atlantic drone ship landing from six minutes and twenty seconds for an re-entry burn then landing of the Falcon Nine reusable at its final timing at eight minutes and thirty two seconds.. in which it’ll be received by retrieval team to collect, reprocess to be used for other launches, in which this one is reprocess transported back  for to be displayed as a museum artifact in Florida SpaceX branch…

least than twenty hours that Space X is launch from that historically Iconic launch pad Launch NASA KSC Complex 39A –LC39A that’s been used historically partaken in the launch of the Saturn V Apollo Lunar Program,  STS- Space Transportation Systems known as the Space Shuttle program.. now it’s been currently undergoing major modifications to launch the next generation of rocket vehicles that is Known as the Falcon Nine Heavy also it’s younger taller sister the Falcon X heavy, ultra Heavy to the Interplanetary Transportation systems  that will lead towards the planet Mars..

On the Launch Complex 39A, is the Falcon nine reusable, it’s recently launch was an reused expendable one due to the mission requirements parameters of the launch.. in this case Space X,  for the launch of SES-10 Communications Satellite  from NASA KSC which have a two and half window… launching in within least twenty hours, on 30th March 2017 with the window evening launch of 1827 Hours EDT or 2227 hours UTC… in which the SES-10 will be deployed after in thirty two minutes from the time of the launch..  however there’s a second window just in case sets on 1st April 2017- Saturday  at 1827 hours EDT – 2227 Hours UTC..

This launch is a milestone, due to the nature of the iconic launch complex LC-39A, in which a tradition once more is reacted in reusing a reusable Falcon nine rocket booster carrier… In which it’ll land on a drone ship named “Of Course I Still Love You” readily station off shore at the Atlantic Ocean…  given that you wanted to watch the live technical feed it’s located here..

The payload itself, SES-10, is a commercial communication satellite, in which its High quality communications provisions will service the Latin American region in collaborations with the Andean Community to use the Simon Bolivar 2 satellite network.. as it’s thirty two minutes into been deployed it’ll be position on an Geo-Stationary position at 67 Degrees west… the Manufacturer is Airbus Defense and Space  based on the Eurostar 3000 platform in which its solar power panels will provide the power the communications equipment also it’s Xeon ion electric hybrid  propulsion systems also acting as retro maneuverings controls….
