On 5th May 2018 on a west coast Californian early mid-morning, is the launch from Space Launch Complex three at Vandenberg Air Force Base… Launching at 0405 Hours Pacific Day Time… This launch is the first for the west coast to launch the Interplanetary Missions, due to the majority is launched from the East Coast at Cape Canaveral launch complexes facilities……

Launching InSight is ULA- United Launch Alliance Atlas V 401 Configuration, in which this launch carrier rocket  with a four meter diameter payload flaring in which housing  NASA’s InSight  -Interior Exploration using Seismic Investigations, Geodesy and Heat Transport….. During the process of the launch after separation in which there are three payloads, InSight also it’s Cube Satellites support services that’s attached to the secondary stage of the Atlas V configuration…

Launching from Launch Complex three, in a very Californian misty morning… in which the counting down towards the launch without any issues… powering up the launch is the Mightily RD AMROSS RD-180 engine also providing the secondary Stage is  the . Aerojet Rocketdyne provided the RL10C-1 engine … in which it’s been tradition that the Atlas V series carrier rockets have carried into towards Mars with its successive Martian rovers and satellites including Spirit, Opportunity and Curiosity rovers as well as the MAVEN satellite…  among the payload in the centaur after section is the pair of launchers of the JPL- Jet Propulsion Laboratory Cube Satellites MarCO- The Mars Cube One Alpha and Beta in which to be the first to be flown in interplanetary , utilizing of the shelf technologies in which providing Data Telecommunications support in between the MRO- Martian Reconnaissance Orbiter … having be launched from the lower ATLAS v Centaur carrier staging bulk head. Both make their independent travelling paths towards Mars in which providing communications support..

 Insight is a stationary probe that’s Phoenix heritage design to study on Martian Quakes on The planet Mars the Fourth Rocky planet in the Sol-Solar System in which to study the Martian’s Interior also its structure with its various sensors… in which when it lands on the design landing position it begins to transport from is instruments array, it begins studying the Martian sub surface in which helps to understand the early planetary formation.. In which CNES-  SEIS- Seismic Experiment for interior Structure, DLR- HP cube – Heat Flow and Physical Properties Pack   in which measures the thermal conductivity of Mars..

On a soon to be cloudy night on the that follows from 16th September 2017 Auckland –New Zealand, also on that previous only a half a day ago it was it was the final moments of the Cassini probe that ended its mission re-entry of the Gaseous planet Saturn, as it’s Isotopic Generator runs out of fuel of its final half-life, in which that generator provides the primary power supply to the rest of the probe.. in which its journey started very late last century 1997, the year that Already Tomorrow in Hong Kong was hand back to China in that year in becoming a Special Administrative Region..

As Cassini journey, adventured within twenty years since it journey the long way round with travelling in using gravitational assistance, hopping from planetary bodies, in slingshot way carefully planned with mathematically teamwork timely precession manner..

As I arrived from finishing work, at the observatory, arriving home I geared loaded up NASA-JPL’s eyes on the solar system application.. in which, also I loaded up NASA-JPL’s live stream for the first time in Cassini’s control room in 360 live stream with various layers of commentaries during the live stream in which shown Cassini’s final journey as it still continuous broadcasting live stream also working at the same time of still streaming its collecting data along the way, in which till its final moments…

As I filming Saturn’s live-ish only averagely one hour also averagely one billion kilometres ago footage the night after, seeing the various divisions of Saturn’s rings that inspired the name Cassini whom discovered the rings of Saturn, in which the name was symbolic motion to name the deep space probe.. As you can see the different layers hues brown and metallic greys within the divisions of the rings of rocks and ice in various assortments of sizes… In that major separation between two rings is 4,800 Kilometers wide.

Among that night, the Largest planet Jupiter currently in the bodice of the Constellation Virgo, retired earlier in the night, as to the Saturn in which in between the Constellations of Sagittarius also Scorpio.. In which bringing in spring sort off warmly still cold…

#AIRBUS #ESA- European Space Agency | #ExoMars – Space and Defense- Watch out Mars Rover Curiosity!!

As Europe and the European Union sets out into space also towards the Red rusty Planet Mars.. There’s a new Martian Rover coming soon in which NASA –JPL Martian Rover Curiosity in which the Airbus – ESA – European Space Agency -ExoMars Martian Rover is an enhance version of the American Counterpart…

In which the ExoMars Rover is expected to be ready wise in the year 2020 will arrive in the Northern Hemisphere Spring season of 2021.. With a 30 Kilogram Rover on Mars in which will have an unmatched capabilities automatically navigate within seventy meters per day without any instructionally outside guidance from mission control unlike the NASA-JPL Martian Rover- Curiosity..

As with currently developing the ExoMars…. Current evolutionally developments are under way in the testing field for the final collaborationally technologies process of going to Mars. In which starting out small utilizing BRUNO been modified to the flight design asspects to integrate BRYAN modified towards Martian Gravity with Six flexible metrically wheels to withstand those harsher Mars environments than to Curiosity in which each wheel is steering independently from each other in which to achieve a direct path routine, also Advances in software enables the Rover to correct itself to avoid any slips…….

As for optically Stereo Cameras on the mast image the local terrain among with various instrumentally packages there are nine in which to analyse the Martian Soil content for life from past to present..  One other instrument is the drill in which penetrate two meters below the surface find examples that was protected from solar radiation…
