On the eve of Halloween it’s the Launch of the KoreaSat5A Satellite in which is launched from the Iconic NASA-KSC’s Launch complex 39A –LC39A, in which the carrier rocket is the SpaceX –Falcon nine reusable in which it was launched on 30th October 2017 Monday on an Afternoon 1534 Eastern Date Time Florida.. in which that East Coast Florida clear afternoon was brilliantly clear for launch… in which that SpaceX was more concern of the off shore landing drone ship “the “Of Course I Still Love You” in which is situated in the Atlantic Ocean in which weather wise Prior towards the launch wasn’t that favourable to the launch criteria… until the weather conditions up towards the launch met the Criteria..

The Launch of the SpaceX-KoreaSat5A launched without any issues, in which KoreaSat5A was deployed thirty six minutes from launched from those powerful nine Merlin Soyuz like cluster engines in which the first stage separation traditionally separated ten minutes after launched began its landing procedure in landing on the landing drone ship “Of Course I Still Love You” ….

The Korean Satellite –KoreaSat5A- is a telecommunications satellite operated by Korean- South Korean Satellite provider KT SAT… The contractor for the KoreaSat5A is Thales Alenia Space… Thirty six minutes into the launch is the satellite is position located in 113 degrees East… in which the Telecommunications Satellite communications provisionments is to provide an extremely high degree DTH-Direct To Home broadcast , broadband, also a backup of various servicements .. Placing in the location of 113 degrees East will gives the communication range of providing towards Marine time coverage of the South and East China Sea, Persian Gulf, Indian Ocean…  One unique feature of many is the steerable four Ku-band [54 MHZ] transponders in providing maximum DTH communications coverage…

As exciting preparations underway in New Zealand’s north island west coast line in Mahia Peninsula   on 22nd May 2017, with the launched window at in between 0900 to 2000 hours New Zealand Time..  in which this is the first commercial company in New Zealand in joining the Space industry in the provisions of providing affordable unique launch carriers … in which in its Home-grown Uniqueness is New Zealand Made comes to  mind is Rocket Lab..

As the building up to the to the launch window,  various launch complex sites was considered in various parts of New Zealand in which gives a suited launch location Mahia Peninsula was chosen  to be the newly acquired first launch complex for Rocket lab’s carbon fibre hulling rocket  the Electron.. In which stands at seventeen meters long, that’s half the length of a Captain Jean Luc Picard’s Sovereign Class Captain’s Yacht in which sits at 33.5 meters long.…. in which can carry up to a 150 kilogram payload.. with an altitude range of  500 kilometers..

The home grown Rocket Lab’s Electron rocket comes with many New Zealand made innovations, in the hulling shell of the rocket is made out from durable Carbon fibre with its innovative home grown clustered Rutherford Oxygen-Kerosene 3D printed Engines in which akin to the same design linage to the Soyuz, SpaceX, Blue Origin engine clustering…. The Electron is interesting innovative it’s takes many elements of Plug and Payload in which the payload make it easier to install at the Assembly building facilities. .   then readily install on the launch complex launcher ramp on the same design elements like the Russian’s Soyuz’s, Space X  in which there’s been some interesting challenges in building the launch complex from the ground up but with the team that thinks innovatively like Admiral Montgomery Christopher Jorgensen “Scotty” Scott Chief engineer of the constitutional class Enterprise they can’t go wrong..….

As “Space X- Falcon nine Reusable” is getting set to return to launch and return to operationally orderly  on 18th February 2017, with the return to resupply the International Space Station with the CRS-10 Tenth mission of the Cargo Resupply Servicing number ten…. In preparation for the return to service mission it’s launched from one of the most iconic Launch Pads in Space history, that very launch Pad in question is the soon to be remodelled, modified Space Launch Complex pad 39A the very one that seen the many launches from the Apollo Mission towards the Moon, among that it’s the STS- Space Transportation System- Space Shuttle programme ….but given that’s belayment there will be a backup launch  on the following day in which on the initial window if successful the Falcon nine will separate after ten minutes then meet up within two days latterly.. Also the Falcon Nine reusable will land in LZ-1 Landing Zone one at Cape Canaveral Air force Station…..  in which there will be two webcast of the event one is “the Hosted” the other is the “Technical webcast.. “

In preparations for the upcoming CRS-10 launch, numerous testing had to be done to check out any systems with its new historical launch platform modify for it’s used for the upcoming ultra and Heavy versions of Space X falcon nine variants.. One such testing is the Static test firing of the Falcon Nine’s reusable Merlin cluster Engines to see if all are in working order also its systems..  On 12th February 2017…..

The Falcon nine reusable, including its CRS-10 payload assemble in the adjacent new constructed horizontal assembly building – HIF- Horizontal integration Facility nearby the SLC-39A is railway out to launch pad among too with the TE- Transporter Erector in the same traditional….. The launch window for CRS-10 is windowed for 1001 Hours morning Eastern Standard Time, in which is 1501 hours Greenwich Time with a ground landing this time instead of a drone ship landing…

On 21st of September 2015 “SpaceX” did a Test firing on their newly improve Falcon nine Merlin engines, the testing was on the Densified Propellant… the new testing of the modified engines of the nine Merlin’s increase in sea level thrust of 170,000 from its previous 147,000 pounds… with the newly acquired thrust is hopefully to increase in Payload weight in given packaging on the Dragon nine Cargo or Manned to the international space station as it due to replace the Russian Federal Space Agency, RKA’s tendership of Crew Transport on the Soyuz, manned Progress Command Module… The test firing, a planned fifteen seconds, testing the first stage at Space X’s McGregor Test Launch facilities at Texas….
