They say that the third time is a charm, in which the launching of ULA-United Launch Alliance launched the next generation weather Satellite in which is the JPSS-1 weather system satellite in which was specifically to launch on the 14th November 2017 in which was twice scrubbed in which the first scrubbed was due a red range and late launch alarm, in which on the 15 November 2017, in which scrubbed again due to weather range issues of high winds and range issues in which the third times a charm  18th November 2017  in the early hours of the in morning from Space Launch Complex-2 at Vandenberg Air Force Base, California it launched successfully of the for NOAA – National Oceanic and Atmospheric administration on the Delta two 7920-10 carrier rocket…. In which as ten solid rocket boosters with a two stage segment with primary with a RS-27A engine the secondary with an AJ10-118K engine…

…  The Client for the JPPS-1 is for NOAA – National Oceanic and Atmospheric administration in which this is the first of four JPSS series weather satellites….. The JPPS-1 Payload will be deployed into a 822 Kilometer Near Circular Orbit in which will orbit around earth in a polar orbit, repeating from Pole to Pole also crossing the equator  fourteen times a day, covering all the data observationally gathering it needs on weather.. In which its provisions is Joint Polar Satellite System- JPSS-1 in which provisionment is to Data gathering on weather observation for extreme weathering and environmental prediction in forecasting and monitoring… In which its advancements in technological and scientific instrumentation provides in measuring global sea surface temperatures and humidity and tidal dynamics, also checks the health cycle of the Ozone layer also it’s concentration levels….it’s other packages is measurement of Earth’s solar reflection of sunlight and thermal radiation emission of Earth.. among the main payload of JPSS-1 is a series of CubeSats hitching a ride deployed after when the main payload has been deployed…. among that the cubeSats are design for how 3D printing will be affected in zero gravity or near gravity manufacturing process.. also as too of weather data collection, bit flip memory testing, radar calibration and the effects of space radiation on electronic components.

On 15 November 2017 west coast California time is the launch of the ULA-United Space Alliance Delta two 7920-10 carrier rocket, in which its been while for a Delta Two rocket launch, in which a majority it has been dedicated for Delta fours and fives in various different configuration..  Delta two 7920-10 carrier rocket has six solid rocket boosters with first stage, second and the final stage in will launch the remaining path of JPSS-1 payload… The launch of the ULA’s Delta 2 is a the start of the launch window of 0147 Hours Pacific Savings time From Vandenberg Air Force Base, in California from Launch Complex two..  As it was previous launch on 14 November 2017 with some issues arising that need to be resolved in which those resolvements was beyond the allowed launch window opening..

#OrbitalATK #SpaceX | #IridiumNext –construction and testing… the Iridium 81’s

Under construction also testing currently at the moment in a car – Aircraft manufacturing type line is the construction of eighty one Iridium Next Satellites in Orbital ATK‘s Gilbert Arizona Satellite Manufacturing facility… As Orbital ATK is under contract from Thales Alenia Space to manufacture eighty one satellites to replacing its aging Constellation Satellites in which it was launched from a series of SpaceX falcon nines reusable carrier rocket booster that launched from its Vandenberg air force base also another location from the Iconic NASA’s launch complex 39A, in which launched the Saturn five Apollo mission to the moon, then converted to the STS-Space Transportation System-Space Shuttle mission..

Iridium Next Constellation is built from very ground up like assembly of building from a ground up of an aircraft or a car… in which the satellites are designed for LEO- Low Earth Orbit in with back up, also spare parts…. As with the LEO- Low Earth Orbit of 780 Kilometers above earth to allow shorter transmission paths also with given stronger signal gains of a LEO with a lower Latency, shorter registration time than having a GEO- Geo Stationary Orbit..  With the numerous clusters of the Iridium Next network in LEO, it’ll will minimized the empty spots therefore increasing the area coverage of continuing communications with overlapping communication coverage spots to minimizes dropped connections and various types of communications….  As the network is in LEO travelling in orbit at 27360 Km/hour it cover more communications requirements in each orbit takes 100 minutes ….

The Next launch of the IridiumNext cluster of ten satellites per launch is targeted for Ninth October 2017 with SpaceX Falcon Nine at Vandenberg Air Force Base (VAFB) in California at 0537 Pacific Date time Californian morning..

#SpaceX |#Falcon9 – #Bloopers- How Not to land an Orbital Rocket Booster…!

“…… 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

#SpaceX | #CRS12- launched from the iconic Launch complex 39A to resupply the international Space Station- Highlights….

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…..
