As the build up to the “NASA’s Space Launch Systems” in preparations in returning back to the moon Luna, then towards the rusty orange Planet Mars, with ongoing efforts in establishing an outpost on research, exploration, commercial, also tourism on those two… as the First Test flight of the Constellation Program – SLS is underway for the for the launch calendar year 2018, no later than November launch window… on a re-built-recondition Launch complex –LC 39B at Kennedy Space Center in Florida that was once launched by the STS- Space Transportation Systems, The Space Shuttle program- the Work Truck of NASA.. With the Orion command module on-board to test the full stack of its systems before a manned test flight to see if any other modifications, tweaking, and turning are required to rebuild another variant of the original SLS rocket..

In this see that preparations of a forty meter long SLS liquid hydrogen fuel tank constructed with a new tooling systems at Vehicle Assembly Center at NASA’s Michoud Assembly Facility in New Orleans…. In where this major component is of the first stage in which it takes up least two thirds of sixty five meter first stage among its other component in which stores the Liquid Oxygen in where the two it feeds the powerful four RS-25 engines that was once used on the Tri-cluster Space Shuttle Main Engines, now heavily modified for the SLS program, also with a pair five segmentation SRB’s Solid Rocket Boosters on each sides.. Using the same design heritage from the STS-Space Shuttle program..

Apart from the forty meter Liquid Hydrogen tank is the testing for flight qualification to see whether to see if it sustains to any form of extreme stresses that may be impose on it to see if any other modifications learning experiences  that are learn from that testing at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama…

As more of the crew space transport service providers, is set to take on the crew commercially to the International Space Station-ISS….. As Commercial providers “SpaceX-Dragon nine” “Boeing-Starliner” also “Amazon-Blue Origin-New Shepard” is set to provide that partnership, in which new launching facilities platforms are constructed… One historical component   is the Catwalk, is where the final departure room of the Astronauts, Cosmonauts, Tychonauts into before preparation into the Spacecraft before launch as during the Mercury, Gemini, Apollo, STS-Space Transportation Systems-Space Shuttle, Then onwards to the SLS-Space Launch Systems- Constellation program..

In this Boeing, is set to build their commercial launch complex on NASA’s Cape Canaveral’s (Space Launch Complex)  SLC-41  that’s built from scratch to as it began testing the white room one week before its final installation.. In which is built for the Atlas five rockets with the Starliner as the Command Module, on which the white room/ Catwalk is finally installed on Monday, 15th August 2016…. So what were you  doing this morning at 0730 EDT… ?

NASA- ORION | EFT-1 First test flight – that first amazing flight would look like..?

In about two days’ time least, or days hours,  the very first steps in returning back to the moon… with the first test flight one on a “NASA”  Orion spacecraft is called an “Exploration Flight Test one” a unmanned test article in which  will launch from Cape Canaveral in Florida,  on fourth December 2014, on a flight where it will test all parts of the Deployment systems on a Delta four heavy rockets with dual sides boosters, with a central core in which that will deploy the second stage to the orbit the Earth twice higher than any other vehicle use since the Apollo program, the first manned Luna missions to the moon in that 1973 year..

As NASA’s Deputy for flight test integration of the Orion program, Jay Estes explains the process of the first flight also its main goal is test out the systems out from the service module , also the heat shielding…  in which it lands in the Pacific ocean with a series of parachutes to stage it’s descent.. With the recovery of the United States Navy to do the recovery operations of the Orion –EFT-1.. .
