On 24th September 2017,  West coast- California time is the United Launch Alliance of NROL-42- National Reconnaissance Office Satellite, launching from the West Coast Californian coast line from Launch Complex three from Vandenberg Air Force Base… The launch window of the Atlas V 541 opens at 2238 hours Pacific Date Time…

Featuring in the commentary for the launch, is Amanda Kuker, is talking throughout the process… in which it the whole process of the launch of NROL 42, did had some issues, but the issues was resolved rapidly… as the launch did had some issue prior in the battery replacement on the Atlas V booster carrier rocket.. Due then, the weather was favourable for the night time launch as the initial launch process was actual to launch on 21st September 2017, in which was launch slated, Due to the nature of the payload the live webcast stream of the launch stream was only broadcast till before the flaring was deployed..

The client is the National Reconnaissance Office Launch Enterprise- Air Force, in which the NROL-42 is launch from an Atlas V 541 configuration, in which the primary stage is an Atlas V, with four core solid rocket boosters, in which the primary carrier stage is powered by a RD-180 Engine, with a secondary Centaur Stage is powered by a Areojet Rocketdyne RL10C-1 Engine..

The NROL-42- 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..

As for the next United Launch Alliance for NROL 52 is slated for 5th October 2017 from Space Launch complex 41 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Florida  with the launch window at 0300 to 0700 Eastern Morning Date time  with the Atlas V 421 rocket configuration…

#ULA UNITED LANUCH ALLIANCE | What goes into Launch operations – Rocket Stars answer some of these questions.. ?

One of the important” ULA- UNITED LAUNCH ALLIANCE” components when in launching a rocket is the Operations Preparations, also its team of learnt experience…. Also they don’t get paid to launch empty rockets. In many operational roles Launch operations is to receive all the rockets components hardware, then integrated it, then make the final processes in preparation for launch teamwork wise.. also that preparations is to test the hardware, also the software wise to see it the way through, to beyond launch.. From roll day from the vehicle assembly build from stacking… One other role is the integrator, is the liaison officer  in between the various teams, in which the average years of experience from one person is least twenty two years… with a combination of seven hundred thirty Launch Operations Employees from the design to manufacturing process that the rockets are built. Also that goes for the Launch command center… As they go through very strict guidelines in operational in focusing from towards and beyond launch day………

During today on 8th September 2016 on the 50th Anniversary of Star Trek, Northern Hemisphere Eastern Date Time.. “NASA- OSIRIS-Rex | Origins Spectral Interpretation Resource Identification Security – Regolith Explorer,” is launched from  Space Launch complex 41 at the Cape Canaveral Air Force base on in-between 1905 to 2100 EDT.. Webcast began on 1630 EDT…. The mission is launch on a “United Launch Alliance Atlas Five 411″ Configuration rocket with an interesting unusual rocket configuration of having one SRB- Solid Rocket Booster on one side… with going against tradition of having dual SRB’s on for a more balance launch..  As the secondary Centaur Stage provides the remaining provider transportation assist towards Bennu……Orthough this flight is a celebration flight to the Anniversary to Star Trek, it’s also a Memorial flight to one of its mission founding members in remembrance of Michael J. Drake……

The Launch of OSIRIS-Rex, will be adventuring out towards a NRA- Near Earth Asteroid in venturing prospecting vital information on what mineral deposits on Asteroid Bennu contains… also its investigation one key part on many is on origins of the solar system, how water and organic matter of various sorts would impact on Earth in the fundamental understandings.. Of researching mining Bennu drawing a composite sample back on 2018 once collected various samples then heading back to earth like the same mission specifications like the Stardust sample retrieval program.. in which gives an commercial understandings of how to start Asteroid Mining with the newly onset mining companies like “Deep Space Industries”   to start building installations from the ground up on mining Asteroids …also this will provide a key sample extracted on a larger scale extraction than the Apollo’s Luna mineral extraction sample  on Earth Moon back in the 1970’s…… once the extraction of the sample it’ll makes its way back to earth where it makes reentry collection point in the Utah Desert for the year 2023 from where it will be analysis of what the samples contains also one other mission specifications is finding clues to the formation of the Sol-Solar System evolutionary process over the 4.5 billion years period and how it would be possible to adaptive to other exo-planetary systems when studying its formation as well too..
