Onwards during this week of 27th September 2016 “SpaceX” has release there next proposal for their next generation of transportation in the development towards journey the Planet Mars, the program in development to realization is “ Interplanetary Transportation Systems.. “ the new Martian system or the Interplanetary Transport System.. is launched from the same Space Launch Complex 39A in which the Space Transportation system -Space Shuttle is operated on besides the other one is SLC 39B in which is heavily modified for the Space Launch Systems- SLS….

The new rocket in which founded on a tried and tested template from the Falcon nine reusable platforms in which is currently used for payload deployment then passenger transportation towards the International Space Station. As for the Interplanetary Transport system, it seems the booster and the command module together is larger than the NASA’s Saturn five (111 meters tall combine) five rocket, in which combine it’s 127 meters tall as the boosters is 77.5 meters, with the interplanetary module is 49.5 meters tall with a maximum passenger capacity of 100 crew on board, in which the design is very akin towards McDonnell Douglas DC-X – Delta Clipper design in which was a Space shuttle replacement..

The Main booster engines,  is consistent of newly tested Raptor engines in which each puts out with a 3,500 Kilo-Newton’s of thrust..  The Raptor Engine configuration consisted of 21 fixed outer, 14 inner with seven cluster engines with gimbals…  in which the Booster engine component with a velocity of 8,650 Km/Hr with the return of the booster to the landing site using of the seven percent of total booster prop load for re-entry burn and landing back.. In which the grid fins helps to guide back the booster back for landing for reusable refueling back on to the SLC-39A, to pick up the refueling payload- Tanker in which will dock with the manned version in parking orbit around Earth to fuel up for the destination.. As it refuels.. It gathers up the remaining supplies before heading outwards towards the Planet Mars… with its winged solar panels outwards to powering up the remaining parts of the Spaceship… In where once it reached its destinations it’ll land mission wise once it’s done it makes back towards earth… in the mission video the mission is clear for Elon Musk, as he actionized his vision on colonizing Mars for the long term as he plans to land a smaller version the Dragon reusable to practice learning if any massive modifications learn from of landing Dragon on the year 2018 then having it return to Earth to create a new industry standard..

ROCKET LAB – NEW ZEALAND | Launch complex nears construction completion…

During the last recent week of September 2016, a major piece of fifty ton launch complex hardware platform was constructed over the several months in the making of “Rocket-Lab” first static launch complex that was constructed in the  installation New Zealand Mahia Peninsula  in which situated outward looking towards the pacific ocean in between Art Deco Napier and Gisborne.. Making it viable safe for test or actual launching…..

The Rocket Lab static Launch Complex situated in an very unique location in which it gives two options in which it can launch various payload depending of rocket type of design, this case their current flagship the “Electron” Rocket in which can launch at payloads of 150 kilograms into orbital or Geo stationary of 500 Kilometers above Earth,  with its dual rocket stage component systems of first stage having multiple New Zealand home built clustered LOX/RP-Rutherford Engines as for the secondary payload final delivery  stage one mono engine of vacuum engine type…. As the other hulling of the rocket is made of carbon composited

The construction of the Rocket-Lab launch complex is very the same rocket delivery process as the Russian, Sea launch  also of Space X launch complex system where the rocket is deliver horizontally then to vertical positioning for ready for launch in testing in the following months..

On 3rd of September 2016 –United States Eastern Date time “Space X” will be launching a five point five Tons AMOS-6 Affordable Modular Optimized Satellite, in which its the main payload of launching a Commercial Satellite in which the AMOS-6 is well intended to be the successor to the AMOS-2.. AMOS-6 is launched into Geostationary Transfer Orbit, in which constructed by IAI- Israel Aerospace Industries …..AMOS-6 will consist of newer technologies than from its sisters, with electric propulsion; in servicing of communications life of 15 years…also it’s the communication satellite extends the servicing networks to its customers of Spacecom, with higher powers, also with larger Ku Band transponders in which leaves room for growth potential in which one aspects of services will provide direct to home, video distribution, broadband internet communications  its final orbit position is located at 4 degrees west..  to communication customers in the Middle East, Central Eastern Europe, pan Europeans customers…     it is expected to be launched from Cape Canaveral air force station on Space launch complex 40, in Florida……..

On 19th August 2016 from Space Launch complex SLC-37 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Florida on a very need coffee early morning at 12.00 EDT, “United Launch Alliance” launched a twin – share United States Air Force payload, in which it is two Geosynchronous Space Situational Awareness Program (GSSAP) satellites….  Into near near-geosynchronous orbit… The twin GSSAP satellites are built by “Orbital ATK” in which this payload is design specifically design for enhancing the perception of operations of the US Air force’s U.S. Strategic Command space enhanced awareness operations.. one part of the operations of the launch is to bring awareness of spaceflight in bring satellite collision avoidance controls..  Also this is a dedication tribute launch to one of ULA’s Dearest work colleague, friend… Ramey Hill…

NASA – BOEING- CST-100 | Starliner crew access arm… known as the white room & Astronauts fashion Catwalk……

As more of the crew space transport service providers, is set to take on the crew commercially to the International Space Station-ISS….. As Commercial providers “SpaceX-Dragon nine” “Boeing-Starliner” also “Amazon-Blue Origin-New Shepard” is set to provide that partnership, in which new launching facilities platforms are constructed… One historical component   is the Catwalk, is where the final departure room of the Astronauts, Cosmonauts, Tychonauts into before preparation into the Spacecraft before launch as during the Mercury, Gemini, Apollo, STS-Space Transportation Systems-Space Shuttle, Then onwards to the SLS-Space Launch Systems- Constellation program..

In this Boeing, is set to build their commercial launch complex on NASA’s Cape Canaveral’s (Space Launch Complex)  SLC-41  that’s built from scratch to as it began testing the white room one week before its final installation.. In which is built for the Atlas five rockets with the Starliner as the Command Module, on which the white room/ Catwalk is finally installed on Monday, 15th August 2016…. So what were you  doing this morning at 0730 EDT… ?
