“…… 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

In development of launching spacecraft, or satellites in which most do come with an operational life cycle in which till the next generation series that replaces its core operation, in which replacing the current satellites that nearing its life cycle can be costly to its operators..   in results there’s one interesting case that could be learnt during the STS –Space Transportation Systems, the Space Shuttle mission where that lessons learnt in repairing the HST- Hubble Space Telescope, also to with along with other satellites- ISS- International Space Station repairs during that STS mission era..

That lesson learnt is extending the satellites operations life cycle, before it reaching its maximum expiring operations cycle…. One Airbus Space and Defense have in mind is The Space Tug, in which designing to operations a multipurpose –application robotic satellite that does numerous tasks in helping other satellites for repositioning, refueling them aswell also exchanging other payloads as technologies progresses also it introduces reusability in space with the aid of solar electric propulsion in which enhances its services also as it rendezvous with its Patient with the aid of vision based navigation also rendezvous with others  in and proximity operations even for satellites that are not design for rendezvous…

As this early morning launch on 19th February 2016, on that second SpaceX Falcon Nine CRS-10 Commercial Resupply Service towards the ISS- International Space Station, that second attempt from that Historical Launch Pad from Cape Canaveral, on Launch Complex LC- 39A, as that launch second attempt went without any hitch, it launched smoothly as, ten minutes into the flight, on a cloudy morning.. Then separated from the secondary Dragon Resupply module…  the landing of the Falcon Nine Reusable was smooth as the main webcast shows it’s manoeuvring autonomously with ease through the various heavy layered clouds…  to Space X Landing Zone on Cape Canaveral Air Force Station…

On United States time, During the hours of 2003 hours EDT, on 16th October 2016.. Orbital ATK is reset to launch again on re supplying NASA The international Space Station… in this is the outline components of what it’s to resupply the international Space Station from “Orbital-ATK”  During the beginning of the weekend the Antares 230 series Rocket with its newly acquired RD 181 engines was prepared in set to launching raised positioning.. in which the S.S. Alan Pointdexter Cygnus Spacecraft was rolled out from its assembly building after all of the recently components installed together..  The resupply vehicle was named in honoring the former astronaut and Naval Aviator Captain Alan Poindexter whom flown on a few STS-Space Transportation Systems- Space Shuttle Flights..

The launch will be carried out on from MARS Pad 0A, from Wallops Flight Facility, in Virginia, given a weather permitting launching from the East Coast of the United States… The Resupply mission under the CRS- Commercial Resupply Services initiative the payload featuring this sixth mission,  of sending  least 28,700 Kilograms payload…. During launch it’ll be maneuvering into park into a low orbit for the interception of the International Space Station… The payload in question consisting Saffire II, to test combustion behavioral dynamics in micro gravity with an additional Nano Rack Deployer payload of Spire Cube Satellites for weather data forecasting…

The Turin Italian made Thales Alenia Space Cygnus Cargo Spacecraft is a two components module system, that involves the SM -Service module which has its propulsion engines, power units.. With its PCM- pressurized cargo module in which carries on multiple arrays of crew supplies, spare components, scientific experiments
