Coming very soon in the OrbitalATK in its fleet of carrier rockets is the newest sister The OmegA… in which is designed home-grown manufactured for the EELV- US-Air force Evolved Expendable Vehicle program exclusively… In which is design to have a payload capacity for 10.100 Tonnes for a GTO – Transfer Geostationary Orbit … for a lighter payload load for GEO- Geostationary Equatorial Orbit ..

The newest sister- OmegA… Features the naming from the First letter from two companies in collaboration with ATK.. With O then the A…. in which she is named after a starry object in the night sky only can been seen in the Southern Hemisphere in which One of many Observatories New Zealand’s Auckland Observatory-Stardome is one great viewing spot to view the globular cluster as you look into the Constellation Centauri area where the Southern Cross is right next to Epsilon Centauri…   looking least sixteen thousand light years ago back in time with a clustering of ten million stars with a diameter of least 160 Light years across…

OrbitalATK’s newest sister for a larger class rocket carrier inspired by Omega Centauri- That starry Globular Cluster next to the New Zealand Flag – Southern Cross …..

 Featuring as a three stage rocket with a six clustered Strap on GEM63XL/T boosters strapping onto stage one (CASTOR 600 or 1200) powered up by a Aero Rocketdyne RL10C engines with the secondary (CASTOR 300) stage among with the tertiary stage in which has the thrust vector control system….   In which depending on the mission specs OmegA can be modified as a two stage launching various payload, or various numerous…..

Carbon Fibre composites as its main shell construction in which cost effective also in which reduces the time to  manufacturing operationally as it is printed onsite.. Providing low costing for customers in affordability.. the initial OmegA configuration flight is expected to launch within the early year of 2021 calendar in which certification of the EELV program later quarterly year in which latter for the heavy configuration flight certification is expected for the 2024 launch Calendar.. in which it be interesting to see how it completes fairly with American internally National Commercial launch Provides as likes of SpaceX, ULA- United Launch Alliance also RocketLab.. on the payload specifications requirements..

3rd September 2017 Auckland – New Zealand, is a an interesting week with current previously of last weeks of two there was a Solar Eclipse New Moon’s Umbra that transited  across the Top West towards the lower East Coast  Corner….. as it was shared on so many levels on Socials with innovations been brought out to archive the event as its next time it’s seen is another centennial in which Google provide an awesome social gatherings of observational data to create a Google Solar Eclipse MegaMovie..

As of yesterday of 3rd September 2017, Luna unveiling her terminator veil in revealing more than ninety percent… in which more of the Jade Rabbit with the stories of the seas of Tranquility also Serenity in which most of the remaining of the Apollo Lunar mission… As on a Sunday in which most of the country in New Zealand was celebrating Father’s Day, in which in Auckland Observatory-Stardome in which celebrated as with Father’s get in free as to Mother’s day too. The crowds came in with some first timers’ excitements in just in time later in with the last show before the clouds nomadically roam over briefly with the observations of the Moon along in with the Second largest gaseous Planet with iconic Cassini Rings…….

Among for the later in the night in between the light misty clouds… some distance back in time observations were with viewing   with the two Globular Clusters both averagely sixteen thousand Light years ago with Omega Centauri of the Southern cross also in the 47 Tucanne in the Constellation Tucanne…..  With the nearest Star system Alpha Centauri, a triple stars system with both stars almost the same equal mass with one smaller dwarf star hiding behind the other one…

During the year of 2017, up to this moment the night skies have been very generous with some interesting seasonally views the starry night skies apart in Auckland it’s has been gatecrashed with periodically cyclones, and random nomadically thunderstorms, or gatecrashing massive clouds … as for these two seasons its Summer and Autumn.. as the transitional in between two seasons with the summery constellation Orion starts to fall early as it progresses towards autumn, within that Constellation seeing it upside down given that you’re from the Northern hemisphere.  Down under it’s known to be the Orion the Hunter or the pot having the handle, in which is the sword,  then the base of the pot is the three straight row of stars in which forms his belt..  or in my case Orion is a Cheerleader doing the somersault  with her hands with two wearing Citrine set rings, with her diamond studded heels, with a three diamond stud belt that holds up her skater skirt with a smaller three diamond studded slash on her skirt of her dress..

Orion Nebula cloud i when it glows its quite haunting in a way it speaks out it long ago of untold unspoken stories

Apart of the summer Constellation Orion is other deep space objects, in which is the Jewel box open cluster it’s below the New Zealand flag, the Southern Cross in which is below Beta Crux… notably it’s just off slightly a little of beta crux when you look at the finder scope of your telescope. As you look back in time to an open cluster of least seven thousand years ago back in time with a collection of hundred stars… among clusters is the globular Cluster 47 Tucanne, in located in the Tucanne constellation. It’s supposed to be an ancient Dwarf Galaxy in which its progressively got consumed by Milky Way Galaxy throughout time.. In which leaving it with its core of one million stars, with aging stars with white and yellow spectra..  One of the interesting transitioning moments of Night Skies between from Summery to Autumn is the Planet Jupiter… all the nights off looking back in time of least forty minutes ago averagely 800 million kilometers is never the same, every night is different as the Four main Galilean Moons ..  Io, Europa, Ganymede, Callisto orbiting around the Gaseous Planet, as watching it from going behind Jupiter towards from occultation to transiting you can see something interesting with a larger mirror telescope, as you multiple eclipses, eclipsing it’s shadow  as it transiting in front of the planet in view with the nearest star the Sun..
