On a Spring Florida Wednesday 18th April 2018, it’s the second attempt of  launching of Space X Falcon Nine Reusable, from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station launching from SLC 40- Space Launch Complex 40 in which is about least than fifteen Kilometers away from that NASA-KSC’s Iconic Launch Complex 39A that launched the Mighty Saturn five rockets also the STS-Space Transportation Systems – The Space Shuttle..

TESS’s launch window opening on previously on Monday 16th April 2018 from at 1832 hours EDT afternoon eastern daylight time on which that date of the launch was scrubbed due to many sources points to fault in the falcon nine rocket’s GNC- Guidance and Navigation and Control systems in which that the data regarding to the fault issue would be repaired by East Coast Florida Wednesday launch..

Launching from Space Launch Complex 40, with SpaceX traditions of landing off shore with Drone Ship “Of Course I Still love you” that stationed in the Atlantic Ocean…… in which previous two launching s were non-traditional which resulted a Non Drone ship landing but an Oceanic landing to see how it will performed also experimentally what other lessons needed learning with modifications later on..  after  two minutes and thirty seconds into the flight both stages separate in which eight minutes and twenty seconds the Falcon Nine first Stage Carrier rocket lands on the Atlantic Ocean Drone ship …..

 Manufactured by Orbital ATK..  launching into highly elliptical orbit approximately, This time the payload is a singular, featuring the two year operational used  TESS- Transiting ExoPlanets Survey Satellite in which subjectively replace the role in which Kepler Exo Planet finder probe…. As it’s is NASA’s next generation Exo Planetary finder… TESS is in collaboration with NASA led proposal of Massachusetts Institute of Technology Kavli Institute for Astrophysics and Space Research… the provisionment of TESS is to observational data gathering of potential planets of orbiting its host, parent star of using finding light tail dips in the light as the Exo planet transits and dipping of the light intensity.. in which orbiting around..  TESS is expected to data catalogued thousands of candidates with different various of stars, planets with a refined methods of looking for smaller earth size planets in which are rocky types…..

#SpaceX #FalconNine | #HISPASAT #30W-6 – a non-traditional flight with a stationary “I Still Love you”- Mission Highlights…. also celebrating SpaceX’s 50th Anniversary Launch on brand new first stage Falcon Nine reusable..

On a clear dark Tuesday morning New York time on 6th March 2018, SpaceX was launching from SLC-40-Space Launch Complex 40 from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station is one of the heaviest payloads that SpaceX  is set to launch in which a different modified payload flaring had to be installed for the heavier payload..  Launching was on time as the Launching from SLC-40 was weather wise favourable.. in also Celebrating SpaceX’s 50th Anniversary launching at 12:33 a.m. EST..

The Mission of the launch commentary is provided by John Insprucker, Principal Integrations Engineer of SpaceX… The HISPASAT30W-6 satellite scale wise is about an average city public transportation bus…  HISPASAT30W-6 satellite is previously known as Hipasat IF is operationally design of mission duration of fifteen years.. Building from a SSL 1300 Satellite platform from HIPASAT Group is a Spanish Innovation Satellite provider in provisions of delivering Spanish and Portuguese Content Broadcast, Data communications towards 1250 Televisions and radio channels..  Within the SSL 1300 Satellite platform is with its multiple mission platform equipment onboard, it’s powered with its retractable Solar Arrays 10.5KW with its equipment carrying various 40 Ku Transponders, six Ka Band Beams, and Ten C band Transponders…

The broadcasting range of the HISPASAT30W-6 connects in between the Mediterranean, and the Americas in providing Latin based high end definition Digital media content, also the provisionments of connectivity of mobile, Broadband environments towards the European and Northwest Africa  towards Governments, Corporations, Telecommunications operators in regions of America, Europe and North Africa..

In during this mission is the first stage Falcon Nine reusable core is brand new with a newly paint, in which there was no need to recover the first staging even though it has the landing assets to land onto the off shore drone ship “I Still Love You” is Stationary due to the weather didn’t make the landing recovering launch Criteria in which the weather for recovery was still persistently unfavorable due to the storm weather in the Atlantic therefore it was stationary berth for the remaining for the launch process…  as new Falcon Nine Reusable launched with its powerful nine Merlin Engines..  Then detaching from it secondary stage with its modified payload flaring separated, in the secondary stage powered by a single Merlin Vacuum Engine putting in to the payload into coast orbit towards western Africa into a Geo Stationary Orbit located in 30 degrees west into GTO- Geo Stationary  Orbit….

As on 6th February 2018, it’s the initial maiden launch of the SpaceX’s Falcon Heavy  in which is currently undergoing systems checking to see if any modifications that need to be address towards the launch from the twenty year lease of the NASA-KSC’s iconic  Launch Complex 39A that launched the mighty Saturn Fives Rockets towards the lunar mission to the Moon Luna, also it launched the STS –Space Transportation System- The Space Shuttle Program in which provide a Work Truck for NASA’s space operations..  As the SpaceX Launch of the Falcon Heavy  is underway also the massive modifications to Launch Complex 39A as it transitions from the STS program towards Falcon Heavy also the BFR-interplanetary –Space-Airliner  Rocket that in due to replace the Falcon Heavy.. in which provides a template for the Space-Airliner Rocket..

As the preparations for the Launch of the Falcon Heavy, the launch format is Retro, as In Retro going back to the launch format of the STS-Space Shuttle era… As the same design configuration is based off the Space Shuttle as it duplicates the same. With two Falcon nine reusable on either side, one supporting core Falcon nine reusable together with a combine of twenty seven Merlin Engines, with a secondary rocket that deploys the payload to its destination target…….

On 24th January 2018– on a clear winters morning east coast Wednesday, Space X have been completing towards a Falcon Heavy Static test firing in which was belated for a while due to all of NASA operations was shutdown in which due to the United States of America Government Shutdown due to fiscal negotiations in the senate between two parties.. As of that SpaceX with the Falcon Heavy on that Iconic Launch Complex 39A that lift off the iconic Saturn Five lunar rocket also the STS-Space Transportation Systems – The Space Shuttle Program… was just sitting there in its upright position as on SpaceX Part was just doing minor Checking operations in waiting for the NASA-KSC’s staff to return to work as they contribute towards a majority of SpaceX’s operation into testing and launch operations..

As the US Government Shutdown expired, SpaceX and NASA-KSC return to work to fully optimum operations in gearing up for the twenty seven powerful Merlin Engines for static test firing… as in tanking fueling up, warming up the systems before an actual launch in couple of weeks so in which the Launch format of the Falcon Heavy has gone back to the same Space Shuttle launch procedure as the two have the same flight launch profile……
