On 28 June 2016, “NASA- Orbital ATK” has fired up the last test qualification testing for the five segment solid rocket booster in preparation for the return to moon on the year 2020… The Testing is done at Promontory in Utah in which is viewed by five thousand attendees whom attended the view of testing … in which is one of Orbital ATK’s testing facilities..  As part of this testing is done before an unmanned flight in a fully stack up Space launched System –SLS configuration to test flight on the 2018 launch calendar year… with the unmanned command Orion module with 154 feet long, with an excessive of 3.6 million pounds of thrust at Mach three in which connected to a first stage unit at that first flight with four RS-25 engines…..

While the four segment solid rocket boosters were designed for the Space Transportation System in this was during the Space Shuttle era… The SLS system is designed along the same tooling and design heritage like the STS-Space Shuttle systems many elementary designs, tooling, are brought and inspire on to the SLS systems in order to reduce the operational cost…..

On today 28 May 2016 “Space X” done it again with its third time landing on a drone ship off shore from the initial launch complex forty at the Cape Canaveral Air force station in the East coast, Florida.. it Launched with intense with given if the third landing is successful as the first two completed landings..

The Payload of the THAICOM-8 is Thailand Satellite in which mission package as a Communications in for various types of transmission media in such as television and various media means, constructed by Orbital ATK,  for communication coverage for south east Asia and South Asia.. With a mission life of fifteen years in a orbit of supersynchorous transfer orbit…

In this you see the on-board camera on the Falcon nine reusable landing from de-orbiting re-entry from earth’s orbit after transferring the payload… in space about 32 minutes after launch from the pad… with its retro’s firing and the flaps brakes to guide it back and brake for landing on the drone ship in this accelerated frame rate footage..
