On 5th December 2018, New York Time, is the marathon launch of the Space X Falcon Nine reusable Carrier Rocket in which this this launch is the resupply of the ISS International Space Station in which soon to be decommissioned in the year 2025 due to extremely aged components and parts..  This launch is launched from the East Coast of the United States in which there was another previous West Coast launch from the California, in which that launched successfully with any arising issues.. of cluster payload deployment of sixty four Cube and Micro Sats in one go in payload  that mission was called Spaceflight SSO-A SmallSat Express.. From Vandenberg air force Base from SLC 4E, Space Launch Complex 4E..

CRS16 is Also named Commercial Re-Supply in which is the Sixteenth contracted to supply the International Space Station till it expires in the year 2025, launching at a target lift off at afternoon 1338 Eastern Standard Time, from SLC 40- Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Air force Station in Florida.. Within that window of launch time. Is the delivery of the five thousand and six hundred pounds of supplies, in which a part of the supplies is critically components materials that directed supporting various two hundred and fifty sciences and research investigative assignments that will be conducted onboard the Station’s laboratory modules …….

Among that mission of being resupply on the SpaceX Dragon Module is it’ll carry the GEDI- Global Eco System Dynamics Investigation Iidar.. also carrying out a few robotic refueling mission s for external payloads.. Within that CRS16 Launch manifest is the UNITE Cube Sats from manufactured by the University of Southern Indiana also TechEdSat 8 that was constructed at NASA –Ames research Center…..also with live plants and animals that’s include the with the laboratory research ..

Landing eight minutes and seventh minutes from lift off…….As Traditionally, this is a first stage landing of the new Block five next Generation Falcon Nine Reusable in which it’s not landing on the Drone ship “Of Course I still l Love you” it’s more traditional landing least five to ten Kilometer at Cape Canaveral Air Force Base  LZ1 – Landing Zone One..In which from there the CRS 16 Dragon module makes it way with the secondary stage towards its destination as it deploys two hours and twenty minutes later with its Solar arrays deployed Guidance, Navigation and Control bay door opens….

#SpaceX #NASA | #TESS joyed excitingly as the #FalconNine says “Of Course I still love you” …………..

On a Spring Florida Wednesday 18th April 2018, SLC 40- Space Launch Complex 40 launching of Space X Falcon Nine Reusable, with those nine mightily Merlin Engines from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station 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..

#SpaceX #NASA | #TESS joyed excitingly as the #FalconNine says “Of Course I still love you” ……………. into eight minutes and twenty seconds.. landed..

On that Wednesday, it launch the Daughter of Kepler TESS- Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite in which its parent was design as the Exoplanetary hunting telescope that scanned the universe in the Milky way Galaxy for Exoplanetary systems.. with new systems onboard it’s expected to find scan utilizing the transiting dipping diming method of finding Exo-Planets in outside Exo- system  orbiting around the its parent star.. In which with higher greater degree of magnification of finding smaller rocky Exo-planets than of the Sol-System of Earth or smaller.. Than Kepler did…

As Falcon nine launched towards MECO- Main Entry Cut Off… Towards separations between first stage and the second in which two minutes and thirty two seconds…. Then six minutes and twenty nine seconds into the launch the falcon nine reusable stage one begins is re-entry burn then carefully automated guided towards the Atlantic Ocean Drone Ship “Of Course I still love you”.. in which with the live footage shows two streams from the Falcon Nine as it carefully lands relearning those steps also the awaiting for where landing on the SpaceX livery marks the spot..into eight minutes and twenty seconds.. landed..

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 #FalconHeavy | #Starman- maiden flight test launching with a date towards the Planet Mars in style with #Tesla Cherry Red Roadster- Highlights

On a clear winters Florida 6th February 2018 afternoon at 1500 hours Eastern time, in which SpaceX have complete successful maiden flight of the Falcon Heavy.. Launching with hard earn working captivation from a cheering team in waiting for the launching from the iconic NASA-KSC Launch complex 39A in which launched the mighty Saturn V Luna Rocket towards, the Moon also the STS-Space Transportation System –Space Shuttle program..

Orthough the  Expected launch was to occur at 1330 Hours Eastern Standard Time it was belayed for least an hour later due to Weather conditions that didn’t met the Launch Criteria it went ahead without any arising Falcon Heavy issues to the at 1500 Hours Eastern Standard Time..  In which the weather meet the launch criteria for a ninety percent favourable later… In which the Launch was a go… in preparations for the launch, FAA certification was required, acquired for the launch due to the new nature of the launch format in which fitting formatting to same Space Shuttle Program format…  As the launch window came to an almost closed…..

During the webcast it was hosted by of panel of four, Lauren Lyons-Flight Reliability Engineer, Michael Hamersley- Materials Engineer, John Insprucker- Principal Integration Engineer, also Brian Mahlstet- Automation Software Engineer.  As the launch sequence continues with the cheering energise team as John described his colleagues… as they explained it, in which Lauren described the launch as a non-customer launch flight due to it was only a test flight… in which the main payload Easter eggs was Elon Musk’s Tesla electric powered Cherry Red Roadster with a new driver known Mannequin named Starman in a SpaceX’s new generation satin white EVA suit that’s designed for the Dragon Module.

Florida 6th February 2018 afternoon – SpaceX Successfully launches the powerful rocket the Falcon Heavy from the iconic NASA-KSC’s launch Complex 39A…..

As it journeys towards the Planet Mars in an into a precessing Earth-Mars elliptical orbit around the sun with fellow driver Starman there’s another part of the Payload is the a celebrated SpaceX plate, Lasered printed with all the staff from SpaceX, also Space hardware grade storage device that’s design to withstands the toughest roughest harsh conditions of space.. .. Apart of this it’s interesting to see how the Starman’s Eva Suit would fair in space…. It’s also important during the flight duration critical data collection is critical learning, modifications towards any onwards Falcon Heavy flight..

least ten minutes after the lift off from NASA-KSC’s Launch Complex 39A is the landing simultaneously of the side stage one core at landing Zone one and two at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station..

The two side Falcon Nine Reusable Cores was previously flight proven in. One launched the Thaicom 8 satellite in May 2016 and the other supported the CRS-9 mission in July 2016 With twenty eight Merlin MD-01 Engines, Stage one with three Falcon nine reusable cores sharing the total combine thrust of twenty seven Merlin Engines with the second stage of one.. Lifting off from the Iconic Historic Launch Complex 39A, in which lifting off with five million pounds of thrust.. In which reaching towards three minutes the two supporting side Falcon Nine Reusable cores detaches in which landing simultaneously back ten Kilometers from its initial launching launch Complex 39A point … with the crowds cheering.. in the background landing together at Landing Zone one and two at Cape Canaveral Air Force Base-Station into seven minutes and fifty eight seconds..   in which while the central core detaches from the second stage into three minutes and twenty four seconds landing back on the off then descending onto a yet to be determine Atlantic Ocean Drone Ship “ Off Course I Still Love You….”  As it landed moments later visual communications was interrupted…  As the Test launch flight conclude not just yet there was a following slight slivering coverage as Starman was traveling around the Planet Earth toward the path towards Mars in the background on Earth blasting out to the tunes of the late Great late 20th – early 21st  century pop musician David Bowie – Is there life on Mars- in which was the inspirational premise tune to the BBC’s year 1970’s in between 2000’s drama of a conscious time travelling British police detective Sam Tyler – Life On Mars..
