On 5th May 2018 on a west coast Californian early mid-morning, is the launch from Space Launch Complex three at Vandenberg Air Force Base… Launching at 0405 Hours Pacific Day Time… This launch is the first for the west coast to launch the Interplanetary Missions, due to the majority is launched from the East Coast at Cape Canaveral launch complexes facilities……

Launching InSight is ULA- United Launch Alliance Atlas V 401 Configuration, in which this launch carrier rocket  with a four meter diameter payload flaring in which housing  NASA’s InSight  -Interior Exploration using Seismic Investigations, Geodesy and Heat Transport….. During the process of the launch after separation in which there are three payloads, InSight also it’s Cube Satellites support services that’s attached to the secondary stage of the Atlas V configuration…

Launching from Launch Complex three, in a very Californian misty morning… in which the counting down towards the launch without any issues… powering up the launch is the Mightily RD AMROSS RD-180 engine also providing the secondary Stage is  the . Aerojet Rocketdyne provided the RL10C-1 engine … in which it’s been tradition that the Atlas V series carrier rockets have carried into towards Mars with its successive Martian rovers and satellites including Spirit, Opportunity and Curiosity rovers as well as the MAVEN satellite…  among the payload in the centaur after section is the pair of launchers of the JPL- Jet Propulsion Laboratory Cube Satellites MarCO- The Mars Cube One Alpha and Beta in which to be the first to be flown in interplanetary , utilizing of the shelf technologies in which providing Data Telecommunications support in between the MRO- Martian Reconnaissance Orbiter … having be launched from the lower ATLAS v Centaur carrier staging bulk head. Both make their independent travelling paths towards Mars in which providing communications support..

 Insight is a stationary probe that’s Phoenix heritage design to study on Martian Quakes on The planet Mars the Fourth Rocky planet in the Sol-Solar System in which to study the Martian’s Interior also its structure with its various sensors… in which when it lands on the design landing position it begins to transport from is instruments array, it begins studying the Martian sub surface in which helps to understand the early planetary formation.. In which CNES-  SEIS- Seismic Experiment for interior Structure, DLR- HP cube – Heat Flow and Physical Properties Pack   in which measures the thermal conductivity of Mars..

On 14th April 2018 on a spring east coast weekend Saturday it’s the launch of the  ULA -United Space Alliance’s Atlas V 551 configuration carrier rocket launching from its SLC41 – Space Launch Complex 41 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in which the current payload is a that sits on top of the mightily Atlas V rocket with five Supporting SRB’s in supporting the launch of two payload Satellites.. in which the launch of the ADSPC-11 window opens at 1913 hours Eastern Daylight Time..

The two payloads satellites are designated by the Air Force Space Command – AFSPC-11 in which is multi-manifested mission in which the forward satellite is a CBAS- Continuous Broadcasting Augmenting SATCOM- Satellite in which is place in Geo Stationary Orbit in provisionments of high velocities of Data Communications support to ground combatant commanders and upper tier of command … also its other provisionments is to provide multiple arrangements of relaying communications in between its network..  In which its operations operator is the Air Force Space Missile Systems Center..

The rear Payload is the EAGLE –ESPA Augment GEO Laboratory Experiment in which is also including for the launch… Given the five solid rocket boosters that the long payload faring stage is also the eighth in the Atlas V 551 configuration that’s that capable of lifting almost four tonnes into Geo Stationary Orbit in which is powered by those powerful RD-180 engines with the Centaur RL-10-1 Engines…

Today on a very warmly Dry 27 more degrees Celsius Auckland 12th January Friday 2017,  was the launch attempt of the ULA- United Launch Alliance– NROL-47 reconnaissance Satellite in which that was planned to launch on Thursday 11 January 2017, 1300 hours in which there’s as second attempt of the launch in which will occur from a twenty four hour cycle in order to ascertain a maintenance repairing issue with a ground system valve.. At the Vandenberg Air Force Base on SLC-6- Space Launch Complex -6 …. In the current weathering forecast there’s a ninety percent that’s favourable for the next launch on the west Coast Friday 12th January 2017… at the same recycling timing at 1300 Hours at West wintery coast …. In which the live broadcast will be recycle to 1240 West Coast California time..

Its current Payload is the National reconnaissance Office in which its chosen carrier rocket is the Traditional trust worthy Delta four rocket in which is manufactured by Boeing Defense and space division.. The Delta IV in a 5.2 medium plus configuration is consisting two solid rocket motors  in which has a centaur rocket engine that powers up the secondary stage that transition the rest of the payload into geo stationary orbit placement…   as this is the 36th Launch of the flight of usage of Delta four rocket..

#ULA- United Launch Alliance | #ATLASV 421 – #NORL52 – Launch Mission Profile

On 5th October 2017, from Space Launch Complex 41, Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Florida. Is the Launch of the ULA- United Launch Alliance’s Atlas V 421 in which is seventh launch for the National Reconnaissance Office.. also in that configuration as for the Atlas V is the seventy fourth flight..

The launch window for the NORL 52 is 0407 in the morning in Eastern Date time… in which the live commentaries with a limited streaming begins at 0347 in the Eastern Date time morning in which due to nature of the payload, in which live streaming is short wise  …

The NROL- 52- 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..  The NROL 52 is Launched from an Atlas V 421 launch carrier configuration in which the first stage is the Atlas five rocket powered up with a RD -180 Engine with a secondary carrier staging powered by a Areojet Rocketdyne RL10C-1 Engine.. among that its different that to the previous configuration of NROL 42 that was launched from West Coast Californian coast line from Launch Complex three from Vandenberg Air Force Base… with Atlas V 541 instead of four SRB’s Solid Rocket boosters it only for this launch as two SRB’s given its payload must be least smaller in weight than the previous NROL 42….

“………. Go Atlas V! Go Centaur! Go StarLiner”

As ULA- United Launch Alliance, Boeing in preparations of sending crew to International Space Station, also into space starting off with the CST-100 (Crew Service Transportation module) in which that module is ten times reusable for is lifetime duration… as the preparations currently in progress with its maiden flight in 2018, in which the Atlas V – CST-100 certification progress finalized in 2017.. in which is launch complex is based at Space Launch Complex SLC-41 with its Crew servicing White Room ready to go.. for the 2018 launch Calendar from NASA KSC Cape Canaveral Air Force Station ….

In this you’re ready suited up fashionably with Boeing’s Next Generation signature blue Flight suit with touch enable gloves then transported to the launch complex, seated , prepared inside the StarLiner, once seated then prepared with Boeing Launch Control..  Once launched the various components of the Atlas destaging with your StarLiner powered up with the Centaur then unstaging, your StarLiner CST-100 will be on its way to, dock with the International Space Station for the duration of your stay until you return with a land based returned landing ….

Note.. Given that you watch this 360 view its Best to view it with the YouTube Application for best experience..
