Made in New Zealand -Electron ‘Still Testing’ at Rocket Lab LC-1

On Monday 11th December 2017 New Zealand – Rocket Lab is set to launch its second attempt of its Home grown, Made in New Zealand of its Electron Rocket launch from its launch complex one at Mahia Peninsula in at starting launch window of 1430 to 1830 hours New Zealand time in which that time translate towards 0830 to 1330 hours Hong Kong Time……

One of the Payloads that’s involve with the Still Testing launch is the CubeSats- micro satellites in which are two imaging Earth Dove satellites for Planet, also paired with a Spire dual weather reconnaissances Lemur 2 satellites in which will be used to data observationally collect of weather information analysis also provisionment for assisting of marine vessel traffic monitoring … the various payloads are launched from Made In New Zealand, Auckland Made Electron Carrier Rocket in which the main fuselage of the rocket is composite of Carbon fibre , powered by those home grown clustering 3D printed Rutherford Engines in similar design heritage that can be founded to those of the China National Space Administration Long March series carrier rockets, as to of the  ROSCOSMOS– ESA’s  Soyuz or Known SpaceX Falcon nine reusable Carrier Rocket..

As to the previous terminate launch “it’s a test” its provided more leaning experiences for the adaptive changes for what’s need from the last launch as there was a communications miscommunications of that launch in provide more what’s need to overcome those barriers..

During the proceedings towards public safety of the launch there will be road closures as to Marine shore boundary closures as to Aircraft Airspace no fly zones..

As to due to weather conditions that didn’t match up with Rocket Lab’s launch Criteria in which also during that time the NASA-National Aeronautics and Space Administration collaboration ISS- International Space Station was in closely directly in its launch path.. in which hopefully the part two of “Still Testing” will commerce on Tuesday 12th December 2017 on the same time with twenty four hour recycle..

ULA-UNITED LAUNCH ALLIANCE – LOCKHEED MARTIN | Preparations underway for DigitalGlobe’s #Worldview4 Satellite from Vandenberg…..will continue onto 17th September 2016..

On a Californian Friday, 16th September 2016, at 11:30 AM pacific Date Time was the launching off  “ DigitalGlobe’s WorldView-4” Launching from this time at Vandenberg Air force base from Space Launch Complex three was about to be launched, that launch has been scrubbed for now due to minor technical issues in regarding too a small ground leak during propellant tanking the launch window will continue on 17th September 2016 11:30 Pacific Date Time  on space launch complex three at Vandenberg Air force base instead traditionally  from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida… however the issue resolution is dependent of the issue in clarification of ground leak during propellant tanking..  As issued by ULA-United Launch Alliance.………………….

 DigitalGlobe’s WorldView-4 Satellite is constructed built from Lockheed Martin Space Systems in which is also launched from an Atlas V 401 Rocket configuration…  in which it has two components, first stage is Atlas five booster the secondary payload assist is a Centaur rocket.. This launch is also a dual payload launch with the deployment of United States Government own CubeStats.. Afterwards of deployment of Worldview four…

DigitalGlobe’s Worldview four Satellite, is a fourth satellite in the series in which it’ll this one will be placed in orbit of 617 Kilometres above earth orbit in a Sun-Synchronous orbit which will be in sync with its sister..  Orthough it’s has the capacity of Ultra high resolution imaginery at levels of 30 cm, meaning with the highest detail to read the vehicle plate licensing from cars.. The orbital period of Worldview four is the same period like the International Space Station every 90 minutes..  Travelling at velocities of 17,000 miles per hour, capturing imaginery of the surface coverage of earth at 680,000 Square kilometres….  One major set of equipment of which Worldview four has is the 31 Centimetre Panchromatic resolution also 1.24 meter multispectral resolution systems in which is like it’s sister Worldview three… with the Ultra High resolution it’ll allow the client to make very critical decisions on various layers in multiple visual Data Analysis..

Live Broadcasting will be live from ULA-United Launch Alliance from resolution of issue depending on 17th September 2016 11.30 AM Pacific Date time as the launch window for launch of dual payloads Worldview four and CubeStats…
