They say that the third time is a charm, in which the launching of ULA-United Launch Alliance launched the next generation weather Satellite in which is the JPSS-1 weather system satellite in which was specifically to launch on the 14th November 2017 in which was twice scrubbed in which the first scrubbed was due a red range and late launch alarm, in which on the 15 November 2017, in which scrubbed again due to weather range issues of high winds and range issues in which the third times a charm  18th November 2017  in the early hours of the in morning from Space Launch Complex-2 at Vandenberg Air Force Base, California it launched successfully of the for NOAA – National Oceanic and Atmospheric administration on the Delta two 7920-10 carrier rocket…. In which as ten solid rocket boosters with a two stage segment with primary with a RS-27A engine the secondary with an AJ10-118K engine…

…  The Client for the JPPS-1 is for NOAA – National Oceanic and Atmospheric administration in which this is the first of four JPSS series weather satellites….. The JPPS-1 Payload will be deployed into a 822 Kilometer Near Circular Orbit in which will orbit around earth in a polar orbit, repeating from Pole to Pole also crossing the equator  fourteen times a day, covering all the data observationally gathering it needs on weather.. In which its provisions is Joint Polar Satellite System- JPSS-1 in which provisionment is to Data gathering on weather observation for extreme weathering and environmental prediction in forecasting and monitoring… In which its advancements in technological and scientific instrumentation provides in measuring global sea surface temperatures and humidity and tidal dynamics, also checks the health cycle of the Ozone layer also it’s concentration levels….it’s other packages is measurement of Earth’s solar reflection of sunlight and thermal radiation emission of Earth.. among the main payload of JPSS-1 is a series of CubeSats hitching a ride deployed after when the main payload has been deployed…. among that the cubeSats are design for how 3D printing will be affected in zero gravity or near gravity manufacturing process.. also as too of weather data collection, bit flip memory testing, radar calibration and the effects of space radiation on electronic components.

#ROCKETLAB | #NewZealandMade #Electron Rocket- Awaiting the maiden flight from Mahia Peninsula launch complex one…… !

As exciting preparations underway in New Zealand’s north island west coast line in Mahia Peninsula   on 22nd May 2017, with the launched window at in between 0900 to 2000 hours New Zealand Time..  in which this is the first commercial company in New Zealand in joining the Space industry in the provisions of providing affordable unique launch carriers … in which in its Home-grown Uniqueness is New Zealand Made comes to  mind is Rocket Lab..

As the building up to the to the launch window,  various launch complex sites was considered in various parts of New Zealand in which gives a suited launch location Mahia Peninsula was chosen  to be the newly acquired first launch complex for Rocket lab’s carbon fibre hulling rocket  the Electron.. In which stands at seventeen meters long, that’s half the length of a Captain Jean Luc Picard’s Sovereign Class Captain’s Yacht in which sits at 33.5 meters long.…. in which can carry up to a 150 kilogram payload.. with an altitude range of  500 kilometers..

The home grown Rocket Lab’s Electron rocket comes with many New Zealand made innovations, in the hulling shell of the rocket is made out from durable Carbon fibre with its innovative home grown clustered Rutherford Oxygen-Kerosene 3D printed Engines in which akin to the same design linage to the Soyuz, SpaceX, Blue Origin engine clustering…. The Electron is interesting innovative it’s takes many elements of Plug and Payload in which the payload make it easier to install at the Assembly building facilities. .   then readily install on the launch complex launcher ramp on the same design elements like the Russian’s Soyuz’s, Space X  in which there’s been some interesting challenges in building the launch complex from the ground up but with the team that thinks innovatively like Admiral Montgomery Christopher Jorgensen “Scotty” Scott Chief engineer of the constitutional class Enterprise they can’t go wrong..….

“….. Go Atlas V… Go Centaur….. Go Cygnus-OA7…..”

On 18th March 2017, “ULA- Untied Launch Alliance” is bound to launch the next resupplying mission to the “NASA- International Space Station”. The upcoming launch, is launching an resupply Spacecraft… it’s is the seventh Cygnus to resupply, in which previous resupplies were commission in between primary the STS-Space Transportation Systems- Space Shuttle.. Then onwards, the Soyuz-progress, with the new tendership such as SpaceX- Dragon cargo reusable….

The Launch is set to be launch on the east coast, from SLC – Space Launch Complex 41 from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station.. Current the time specifically for the timing for the launch only is set for a thirty minute window in which that launch window is begin at 1000 Hours EDT Morning time it’s date the live stream broadcast will begin for the very first time a 360 degree viewing platform to give the view more immersive in viewing in which that broadcast will start streaming at 1101 Hours EDT Morning time..

Currently it’s the Carrier Rocket is ULA- United Launch Alliance Atlas V 401 configuration rocket, primary with the Atlas V first stage, with a centaur secondary stage in which prior issues of to launch was repaired to the a hydraulic item in relating to the ground support installation…..

The Payload itself, Cygnus OA-7, carries within, is also a part of program. Within the payload is a 3.3 tonnes of supplies also various sorts of research equipment’s, also piggy backing this launch is a the 83 Kilograms of secondary payload in which is CubeSats- a mini version U-Class Spacecraft Satellite in which its construction is based on commercial of the shelf components in which they will be deployed from its mini launcher…..  Part of the Orbital-ATK payload module it also carries the Sapphire three combustion experiment to study flame dynamics in space, also re-entry dynamics studied from the various CubeSats onboard as they are Launched out..

On least 27th March 2017, “ULA- Untied Launch Alliance” is bound to launch the next resupplying mission to the “NASA- International Space Station”. The upcoming launch, is launching an Orbital- ATK Cygnus resupply Spacecraft… it’s is the seventh Cygnus to resupply, in which previous resupplies were commission in between primary the STS-Space Transportation Systems- Space Shuttle.. Then onwards, the Soyuz-progress, with the new tendership such as SpaceX- Dragon cargo reusable….

The Launch is set to be launch on the east coast, from SLC – Space Launch Complex 41 from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station.. Current there’s not time specifically for the timing for the launch only it’s date. Currently it’s the Carrier Rocket is ULA- United Launch Alliance Atlas V 401 configuration rocket, primary with the Atlas V first stage, with a centaur secondary stage.. However the launch was expected to go earlier than the 27th March 2017, but an issue arisen to the repairs to the a hydraulic item in relating to the ground support installation with the 27th march date gives them more time to resolve the issues…

The Payload itself, Cygnus OA-7, carries within, is also a part of the CRS-Commercial Resupply Service program. Within the payload is a 3.3 tonnes of supplies also various sorts of research equipment’s, also piggy backing this launch is a the 83 Kilograms of secondary payload in which is CubeSats– a mini version U-Class Spacecraft Satellite in which its construction is based on commercial of the shelf components in which they will be deployed from its mini launcher…..  Part of the Orbital-ATK payload module it also carries the Sapphire three combustion experiment to study flame dynamics in space, also re-entry dynamics studied from the various CubeSats onboard as they are Launched out..
