On the 1st February 2018, it’s the second attempt to launching  SpaceX Falcon nine non reusable… in which on the 31ST January’s first launch was due to the second stage sensor issue in which that got replaced.. launching was from CapeCanaveral Air Force base SLC-40 Space launch Complex 40…. In which this is a non-traditional Space X launch in which the falcon nine first stage would not be landing on landing zone one in which is adjacently ten Kilometers away nor it’ll land on off shore drone ship.. Also after three minutes after the launch  that there are reports that the falcon nine first stage splashed down intact off shore in which citing its durability of a non-recovery at sea ..as you can see during the launch pad that the first stage wasn’t repainted means it was as a non recoverable even though it splashed landed intacted..

 Second Launch Attempt from SLC 40 from a twenty four hour launching reset cycle on a very clear wintery Florida afternoon on 1625 hours Eastern Standard Time, with a two hour window that closed on 1847 hours… reusing a previous first Stage Falcon Nine rocket that was previously used on NROL -76  that launched from NASA-KSC’s iconic Launch complex 39A that launched the mightily Saturn five also the Space Shuttle-STS-Space Transportation System…..

SpaceX Falcon nine non reusable launched on a second attempt on for GOVSAT-1

The payload in question is the GovSat1 manufactured by Orbital ATK , operated by SES a Leading satellite operator.. GOVSAT 1 in which services the provisionment of Government of Luxembourg in which is provisionments roles provides the security needs addressing governmental and institutional requirements… Of securing communications and data communications in tactical theaters operations for Maritime mission for Humanitarian assistances also provides for the mobility enablement of Intelligence Surveillance and Reconnaissance- ISR…  Its current Geo-Stationary orbit positioned at 21.5 Degrees with an operating distance of 36,000 Kilometers above the equator.. it broadcasting dedicated communications  coverage within Europe, Middle East, Africa also Atlantic and the Indian ocean..

One of the sequences of launches that follow during the eve of SpaceX KoreanSat5A in which was launched on a very clear east coast afternoon from the iconic NASA-KSC Launch Complex 39A on the 30th October 2017, Korean Television Communications Satellite.. On the following Halloween 31st October 2017 day  it’s the Orbital ATK’s Minotaur C rocket that was launched from the other side from the Californian West Coast from Vandenberg Air force Base from Space Launch Complex -SLC-576E weather wise it met the launch criteria.. in which it Launched 1437 Hours Pacific time..

From the timely launch it, accent into deployment twelve minutes after the launch deploying from its removed payload flaring, deploying six SkySat Spacecraft into one by one into Targeting Sun Synchronous orbit 500 Kilometers above Earth…  Follow on multiple piggy backing payloads is the final of deployment of four Dove Satellite Spacecraft’s into the same..

The sequences of deployments for home-grown made Californian manufactured SkySat also Dove Spacecraft operate in combinations with each other as they provide the provisionment of remote sensing of Data and Telecommunications towards non and governmental organisations business… in which this case the client was for Planet labs Inc. whom provides extremely high ultra-resolution  rich orbital imagery of Earth Terrain from orbit..

#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..

“….. Go Atlas V… Go Centaur….. Go Cygnus-OA7…..”

On 18th March 2017, “ULA- Untied Launch Alliance” is bound to launch the next resupplying mission to the “NASA- International Space Station”. The upcoming launch, is launching an resupply Spacecraft… it’s is the seventh Cygnus to resupply, in which previous resupplies were commission in between primary the STS-Space Transportation Systems- Space Shuttle.. Then onwards, the Soyuz-progress, with the new tendership such as SpaceX- Dragon cargo reusable….

The Launch is set to be launch on the east coast, from SLC – Space Launch Complex 41 from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station.. Current the time specifically for the timing for the launch only is set for a thirty minute window in which that launch window is begin at 1000 Hours EDT Morning time it’s date the live stream broadcast will begin for the very first time a 360 degree viewing platform to give the view more immersive in viewing in which that broadcast will start streaming at 1101 Hours EDT Morning time..

Currently it’s the Carrier Rocket is ULA- United Launch Alliance Atlas V 401 configuration rocket, primary with the Atlas V first stage, with a centaur secondary stage in which prior issues of to launch was repaired to the a hydraulic item in relating to the ground support installation…..

The Payload itself, Cygnus OA-7, carries within, is also a part of program. Within the payload is a 3.3 tonnes of supplies also various sorts of research equipment’s, also piggy backing this launch is a the 83 Kilograms of secondary payload in which is CubeSats- a mini version U-Class Spacecraft Satellite in which its construction is based on commercial of the shelf components in which they will be deployed from its mini launcher…..  Part of the Orbital-ATK payload module it also carries the Sapphire three combustion experiment to study flame dynamics in space, also re-entry dynamics studied from the various CubeSats onboard as they are Launched out..

Recently an intense conference convention that has taken place on 4th April 2017, in which was the 33rd Space Symposium.. In which was held at the Broadmoor Hotel in Colorado Springs during the Symposium convention, as part of the convention there’s a press conference in what’s been agenized, on various issues to Cislunar Space…

The various panels hosted by United Launch Alliance, ULA’s Chief Executive Officer Tory Bruno, with various members of whom are in the enterprising in the Space industries, in which the various parties includes from the AIAA- American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Boeing, Made in Space, Offworld, Orbital ATK and the United States Air Force.. There were various discussions that taken place during the panels, but one in particular is the visionment practically on a Self-sustaining Space Economy within on CisLunar Space…..During the 33rd Space Symposium discuss on the various opportunities it was live streaming  ….

The discussion of CisLunar Space, talk’s apond on self-sustaining economies in space during short to long term in establishing building engineering innovating resources that cater to that type of economies in regarding to building communities, supplying affordability reliability  to accessibility in the traveling in Space also creating that innovative infrastructure that provides the provisions in self-sustainability in space for everyone in where from the moon towards the Planet Mars in where ULA introduces it next generation rocket, the Vulcan, with that providing to several
