On that California west coast morning, from Space X Space Launch Complex 4E (SLC-4E) at Vandenberg Air Force Base… is the Launch of a piggy back ride of ten Thales Alenia Space   Iridium 3 – Iridium Next Satellites in which is constructed by Orbital ATK.. In which was launched on that Californian Monday of 9th October 2017 on 0531 hours Los Angeles Time- Pacific Date Time…

As per usual on some payload is singular, but currently trends with the increase in technologies on satellite technologies making them smaller, compact…? Meaning on carrier launch providers can launch two or more, this case its call piggy packing on a singular launch vehicle …. In this case the Iridium 3- Next satellites are design to have that clustering payload…  in which the clustering payloads are launched into a LEO-Low Earth Orbit for more maximized communications coverage with overlapping communications coverage…  in sequences from satellite one to ten..

Within ten minutes least from the launch is the landing of the first stage of reusable  staging carrier rocket on an off shore drone ship “ Just Read The Instructions”  that was station in the Pacific Ocean.

Iridium Next Constellation is built from very ground up like assembly of building from a ground up of an aircraft or a car… in which the satellites are designed for LEO- Low Earth Orbit in with back up, also spare parts…. As with the LEO- Low Earth Orbit of 780 Kilometers above earth to allow shorter transmission paths also with given stronger signal gains of a LEO with a lower Latency, shorter registration time than having a GEO- Geo Stationary Orbit..  With the numerous clusters of the Iridium Next network in LEO, it’ll will minimized the empty spots therefore increasing the area coverage of continuing communications with overlapping communication coverage spots to minimizes dropped connections and various types of communications….  As the network is in LEO travelling in orbit at 27360 Km/hour it cover more communications requirements in each orbit takes 100 minutes ….

Under construction also testing currently at the moment in a car – Aircraft manufacturing type line is the construction of eighty one Iridium Next Satellites in Orbital ATK‘s Gilbert Arizona Satellite Manufacturing facility… As Orbital ATK is under contract from Thales Alenia Space to manufacture eighty one satellites to replacing its aging Constellation Satellites in which it was launched from a series of SpaceX falcon nines reusable carrier rocket booster that launched from its Vandenberg air force base also another location from the Iconic NASA’s launch complex 39A, in which launched the Saturn five Apollo mission to the moon, then converted to the STS-Space Transportation System-Space Shuttle mission..

The Next launch of the IridiumNext cluster of ten satellites per launch is targeted for Ninth October 2017 with SpaceX Falcon Nine at Vandenberg Air Force Base (VAFB) in California at 0537 Pacific Date time Californian morning..

Hosting, presenting   is Amanda Kuker Launch Commenting   On 1st March 2017 on a very clear bright Wednesday Morning on Vandenberg Air Force Base, from “ULA- United Space Alliance”  Space Launch Complex SLC-3 is the launch of the United States National Reconnaissance Office launch Designation number 79 launched on that 0950 morning Pacific Standard Time… Among with at broadcast of the launch commencing at 0930 morning Pacific Standard Time … it’s the first of three NORL’s in which bounded be launched in.   In which will be launched towards a LEO- Low Earth Orbit attitude in which will be operated as a Naval Reconnaissance Satellite  the Launch process when without any issues, as it was basically was a textbook launch.. The weather range is clear…. The NORL-79 launch is a memorial launch of a fallen Hero, a Father also a dearest friend delicate to Ryan S. Osler VCFD whom passed away on 2016 in fighting the wild canyon fires …..  The NORL-79 launch livery patch design by the client, features the goddess Athena, which features Athena in Armour with the shield of Medusa, in which defending the protect with wisdom, body, purity among written in Roman “Victory through intelligence”

The NROL-79 main booster rocket carrier powered by a RD-180 Engine is the Lockheed Martin Atlas V with a (401) configuration in which one Atlas V main stage with a Centaur secondary carrier stage powered by a RL10C-1 engine carrying the NROL-79 into a Low Earth Orbit with a four meter faring…

Due to the nature of the Launch coverage it was shorten due to the nature of the payload also the Client request in which was conclude on the Payload faring deployment…  … In which is basically designed to tracking ships also Aircraft based on their radio signals in using various triangulation methods, also gathering various forms intelligence’s, also assisting intelligence,  which also on gathering weather data analysis.. …
