“….. 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 United States time, During the hours of 2003 hours EDT, on 16th October 2016.. Orbital ATK is reset to launch again on re supplying NASA The international Space Station… in this is the outline components of what it’s to resupply the international Space Station from “Orbital-ATK”  During the beginning of the weekend the Antares 230 series Rocket with its newly acquired RD 181 engines was prepared in set to launching raised positioning.. in which the S.S. Alan Pointdexter Cygnus Spacecraft was rolled out from its assembly building after all of the recently components installed together..  The resupply vehicle was named in honoring the former astronaut and Naval Aviator Captain Alan Poindexter whom flown on a few STS-Space Transportation Systems- Space Shuttle Flights..

The launch will be carried out on from MARS Pad 0A, from Wallops Flight Facility, in Virginia, given a weather permitting launching from the East Coast of the United States… The Resupply mission under the CRS- Commercial Resupply Services initiative the payload featuring this sixth mission,  of sending  least 28,700 Kilograms payload…. During launch it’ll be maneuvering into park into a low orbit for the interception of the International Space Station… The payload in question consisting Saffire II, to test combustion behavioral dynamics in micro gravity with an additional Nano Rack Deployer payload of Spire Cube Satellites for weather data forecasting…

The Turin Italian made Thales Alenia Space Cygnus Cargo Spacecraft is a two components module system, that involves the SM -Service module which has its propulsion engines, power units.. With its PCM- pressurized cargo module in which carries on multiple arrays of crew supplies, spare components, scientific experiments

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..
