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…..

It’s Business Time for American-New Zealand’s Rocket Lab launching from Launch Complex One -Mahia Peninsula

 

On  a very wintery Autumn Friday- 20th April 2018- between 1230 hours New Zealand Time …. It’s the third launch of the American-New Zealand Company Rocket lab’s Electron from its launch complex One, East Coast of corner of North Island New Zealand’s Mahia peninsula… As from the second launch 21st January 2018 #StillTesting it launched a reflective object The Humanity Star in which its least intensity brightness than the ISS-International Space Station also providing people to look up in the night skies for it, also providing an educational insight for the general population to look into the starry night to wonder what’s out there.. The #StillTesting One of the Payloads that’s involve with the Still Testing launch is the CubeSats- micro satellites in which are two imaging Earth Dove satellites for Planet, also paired with a Spire dual weather reconnaissances Lemur 2 satellites in which will be used to data observationally collect of weather information analysis also provisionment for assisting of marine vessel traffic monitoring….

This time with the #ItsBusinessTime it’s now launch for a fourteen day launch window in commerce to launch for Spire Global again with new payload for GeoOptics Inc. both are manufactured by Tyvak Nano-Satellite Systems in which Spire Global micro satellites provisionments for imagining for weathering Data gathering also weather reconnaissance’s placing it into LEO- Low Earth Orbit in which provide marine navigational assistances….

However with RocketLab has been increasing the scale of production with it primary launch carrier rocket the Electron Rocket in which recently it been manufacturing it Rutherford engines in its Huntington Beach California operations in which that facilities manufactures the 3D printed Rutherford Engines in a scale of one hundred per year to mean launch customer demands in which Rocket Lab yet to achieve an every seventy two hour launching cycle for the micro Satellite market.. With a full constructed manufactured assemble Electron Rocket Carrier Rocket per week cycle… in way of Manufacturing Commercial Airliners Aircraft of Airbus and Boeing…  to meet the launch calendar of 2018 to 2019 year..

On 30th March 2018 on a Californian’s THE O.C. The Cohen, Cooper And Nichol Family’s  Easter Friday, it’s the West Coast launch of next patch of series of Iridium five NEXT Satellites in the series of having seventy five in orbit in which the series of seventy five completes the Iridium’s Next Generation global satellite constellation network…

Launching Iridium Next Satellites, from Californian at Vandenberg Air Force Base from SpaceX modified  SLC-4E- Space Launch complex 4E…launching the fifth series of set launches on 0713 Pacific Daylight time in the west Coast morning hopefully the weather meets the launch criteria..   In which a backup solution is the next day on Saturday 31st March 2018..

 

The first staging of Falcon Nine was previously used on a previous reusable launch on the third series of the Iridium NEXT’s set launches in which launched from the same launch complex… This launch is a SpaceX non-traditional launch in which it’ll won’t be recovered after least three minutes into the launch in which won’t be recovered by drone ship.. due to the nature of the launch commitment of placing the patch of ten Iridium Next Satellites..

The Next Generation of Iridium 5 Next series Satellites, manufactured by Thales Alenia Space, is set to replace the existing satellite networks with innovative next generation data communications provisionments with eighty one planned to orbit around Planet Earth…  in a constellation formation  in which the communication provisionments is delivering high degrees of qualities velocities real time of Data Communications in services providing for aviation, Marine time, internet Data provisions communications with terrestrial towards non and government organisations.. one of many innovations is the Aviation surveillance tracking  systems that will gives real time air traffic controls of global visibilities with ADS-B Equipped Aircraft..

During the CNSA – China National Space Administration launch 2019 calendar, the Chinese Space Agency in Belt and Road initiative  Alliances with the ESA- European Space Agency also with United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs, ROSCOMOS in developing the next Country’s Space Station in which are currently finalizing there modules component construction in which contain in that construction experimental modules in which it’ll be carried onwardly with the Long March 5B,  in which it’ll be the first time the CNSA they will launch the Long March 5B into space..  Into a Launching Low Earth Orbit in a in between Attitude of 350 to 450 Kilometers above Earth’s orbital inclination of forty two too forty three Degrees…

Among with the Space Alliance with CNSA taking the lead, is ESA, Russian ROSCOMOS also the United Nations Outer Space Affairs Office among with the Belt and Road initiative countries in developing preparing together for deep space missions and manned mission to towards the moon and Mars…  ESA will have their module up with the Chinese module components in building up connecting with the Tianhe unit in which like the very aged Zarya needs replacing on the NASA’s international Space Station….

Launching from Launch Complex one, Wenchang Satellite Launch Center, Hainan in the first quarter calendar is the first foundation core module of the Tianhe- Harmony of Heavens, Tainhe will provided the environmental life support, living quarters with three crew members also it’ll provide the main bridge of the Space Station with Navigational Guidance’s controls in which that compartment is one of three compartments of the station the second the non-habitable service section, then the docking section hub unit.. the primary Environmental living section consisting of living quarters, kitchen, toilet, fire control equipment Atmospheric processing providing control equipment, computers with scientific, multiple purpose communications installations.. Also with a small Remote Manipulate Robotic MIR Lyappa Arm to assist in adjoining the other five further modules that have yet to arrive in completing the first stage of the station…… the Docking mechanism is compatible with the Russian also ESA’s aswell due that that the International Space Station is based on the ROSCOMOS’s Mir Space Station Design in which formalised docking mechanism standards..  As the Tianhe is constructed it’s too first to house three selected Taikonauts, Cosmonauts, and European Space Agency Astronauts as the station grows with more module it can accommodate more to its design criteria limit..
