On a Californian Friday, 16th September 2016, at 11:30 AM pacific Date Time is the launching off  “ DigitalGlobe’s WorldView-4” Launching from this time at Vandenberg Air force base from Space Launch Complex three SLC3… instead from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida…   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 Kilometers above earth orbit in a Sun-Synchronous orbit which will be in sync with its sister as with that orbit type it’ll get the most of the sunlight given…   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 kilometers….  One major set of equipment of which Worldview four has is the 31 Centimeter Panchromatic resolution also 1.24 meter multi spectral 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 11.10 AM Pacific Date time as the launch window for launch of dual payloads Worldview four and CubeStats is in between 11:30 to 11:44 AM Pacific Date Time…

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… ?

SPACE X | a 360 view of Falcon nine reusable finally landed – on a drone ship.. Job well done..!

On ninth of April 2016, “Space X” have finally landed their first stage reusable on drone ship platform after several trials and errors in unstable conditions with an uncertain environment in which the Atlantic Ocean it is unforgiving elements.  Then the CR8 mission is the eighth resupply mission to the international Space Station, in supplying food, on-board experiments, also an inflatable module unit in development with Bigelow Aerospace for their construction of Space Stations of variant type of usage in one usage is the later construction of a new private commercial  Space station to trials in eventually become orbital hotels in orbit around Earth therefore bringing  reduction cost of traveling in affordable space tourism to the common mainstream market then later onward using the same concept of inflatable modules on the Moon Luna as the next step of affordable space tourism, .

Also this is pretty great as you play the footage of the Falcon nine landing..  you can move the video footage around to see and watch as the first stage commerce a landing on a drone barge..

 

 

SPACE X| Dragon nine’s pad abort test… !

On a moderately fine Florida day on “Space X” launch complex forty, (SLC-40) On a Wednesday May sixth 2015… as that fine day came around on (SLC) Space Launch pad complex 40, at Cape Canaveral, Florida.. Where that Launch Pad complex is usually for commercial launching….

In this launch, it’s to elevate the operational of the Dragon nine reusable abort systems and learn from the launch to make any necessary changes before a manned Launch program on the Dragon nine reusable on the launch calendar of 2017… as within the ninety second duration the first stage launched at an altitude of 106 Kilometres over the Atlantic ocean  with firing its super Draco clustered engines launching both the first stage and the command module over to east wise  2.6 Kilometres off  the Cape Canaveral’s Launch complex…  the operational of the test  turns out as planned. ..It’s going to be interesting to see how the Dragon reusable is gonna to compete with Boeing’s Command module how it’s going to transport crew to in various mission specs…
