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…

“…… Look that’s not a Rocket explosion – It’s just a rapid unscheduled disassembly…”

On That December 2015 successfully landed the SpaceX – Falcon nine reusable first stage Carrier rocket, on first successful land landing on landing zone one on Cape Canaveral Air force Station in which average takes ten minutes to land from the Launch pad in NASA-KSC from that Iconic LC 39A Launch complex 39A that launched the Apollo – Saturn five rockets to the STS- Space Transportation Systems Space Shuttle mission in which that Launch Complex has undertaken onto a different era of Space Transportation specs..  As for the other First Successfully Drone Ship landing is on April 2016…

As for Successful landing, come with numerous trials and tribulations that’s coming a massive learning curve in getting it right…  The Right Stuff….!

2013 September – Hard impact on ocean

2014 April – First Soft water landing

2014 July- Second soft water landing

2014 July- Breaks Apart After Tipping

2014 August- Engine Sensor failure

2014 September- Ran out of liquid oxygen

201 January- Ran out of Hydraulic Fluid

2015 April – Sticky Throttle Valve

2016 January- Landing Leg Collapsed

2016 March – landing burn failure

2016 May- Radar Glitch

2016 May- Landing legs Damaged

2016 June – Ran out of Propellant

On 9th September 2017 currently NASA – KSC is in total shutdown in which the 45th Space Wing in Patrick Air Force air force base- Cape Canaveral Air force station  has taken over operations of NASA – Kennedy Space Center for Hurricane Irma- level five  in preparing for the for the key evacuation of majority of NASA-KSC’s personal with at 92 personal team from Patrick Air Force Base is on recovery, damage assessment management at Kennedy Space Center with the Level of HURCON 3 to ride out the hurricane till is safe to come back to resume back into normal operations..

Just only hours moments before the shutdown was commencing, it was the launch of Space X – OTV 5 , from that Iconic NASA-KSC – Kennedy Space Center- Launch Complex pad 39A (LC-39A) , in which was launched on a specific timely window  due to the nature of what’s to come with the current situation.. in which that launch was on 7th September 2017 at 0950 Eastern Date Time in the morning with a window closing at 1455 Eastern Date Time in the morning..

The Payload in nature was a United States Air force X-37B- Orbital Test Vehicle –OTV- in which this vehicle was to become the next generation manned vehicle heritage design to replace the Boeing- Rockwell Space Shuttle with its innovative streamlines sleek lines learning from the last experiences..  This is the X-37B- Orbital Test Vehicle fifth launch mission launch in which is mission is unspecified due to the nature….

As the SpaceX launch from the iconic launch complex LC-39A, during the lift off the first stage begins to land traditionally eight minutes after lift-off onto Cape Canaveral Air force station  (LZ-1) landing zone one of the Falcon nine reusable..

On an instantaneous 14th August 2017  Florida  SpaceX  have successfully launched a commercial resupply services mission, its twelfth- CRS 12– From that NASA- KSC- Iconic launch Complex 39A – Florida in which launched the Saturn five rockets also the Space Shuttle …… The launched occurred on a clear 14th August 2017 afternoon day on 1231 Eastern Day time without any technical issues. The launch is a SpaceX traditional launch in where it’s the first stage of the Falcon nine reusable launcher is return to land at the Cape Canaveral Air force Station ten minutes after the LC39A Launch on landing Zone one.. Dragon with its resupply Cargo is expected to dock with the International Space Station on the 16th August 2017…

Dragon reusable payload consist of 2900 Kilograms of supplies, consist of food,  critical materials of nature to provide 250 science research investigation for the Expedition 52 and 53 Station Crew also last minute payloads for time critical moments.. Also there’s an Argument reality equipment to assist the crew of the space station…. Also a commercial supercomputer in which to test the electronics in space…..

On 5th July 2017, SpaceX will make a third attempted launch from that Iconic NASA-KSC Launch Complex 39A that launched the powerful Saturn Five rocket for the Apollo Lunar Mission also the STS –Space Transportation Systems naming the Space Shuttle program…  The Launch window takes place on 1938 Eastern Date Time on a nice sunset with the sun set lighting up the launch complex also the also the falcon nine

This launch is of being one non-traditional of Space X, in which traditionally the first stage lands on a drone ship or back to be reused again. The Intelsat 35e is a telecommunications satellite in which provides provisionment towards mobile services also high velocities data communications,  also  data collection for weather analysis for the Caribbean, trans-Europe to Africa and the African continent. The Intelsat 35e will be deployed into 32 minutes from the launch into Geo-Stationary orbit….
