Français : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T10JbBNwFH4 For its first launch of 2019, Arianespace will orbit two telecommunications satellites using an Ariane 5 from the Guiana Space Center: Saudi Geostationary Satellite 1/Hellas Sat 4, a condosat for KACST (and Hellas Sat; along with GSAT-31 for the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO). Through this 103rd Ariane 5 mission – the 70th with an Ariane 5 ECA version – Arianespace confirms its leadership in the geostationary launch services market segment. Composed of two payloads, Saudi Geostationary Satellite 1/Hellas Sat 4, also called HS- 4/SGS-1, is a geostationary condosat for KACST (King Abdulaziz City for Science and Technology – Saudi Arabia) and Hellas Sat (Greece – Cyprus). To be installed as Flight VA247’s upper passenger, HS-4/SGS-1 will provide telecommunications capabilities, including television, Internet, telephone and secure communications in the Middle East, South Africa and Europe. The Saudi Geostationary Satellite 1 communications payload will provide advanced Ka-band spot beam communications services for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s KACST, including secure communications for the Gulf Cooperative Council region. KACST is an independent scientific organization of the government of Saudi Arabia that is responsible for the promotion of science and technology in the Kingdom. The Hellas Sat 4 communications payload, on the other hand, will offer advanced Ku-band regional beam communications services for Arabsat’s subsidiary Hellas Sat, a Greek-Cypriot satellite operator which provides services to leading Direct-to-Home (DTH) operators by delivering contents to more than 3 million households. With a design life of more than 15 years with orbital maneuver up to 23 years, HS-4/SGS-1 will be positioned at 39° East and will join Hellas Sat 3, launched by Arianespace on June 28, 2017 from the Guiana Space Center (on Flight VA238). Since the launch of Arabsat-1A in 1985, Arianespace has expanded its services to the Middle East, and since then, has developed a trust-based relationship with historical telecommunications operations such as Arabsat. As such, HS-4/SGS-1 will be the 22nd satellites orbited for the Middle East region, accompanying the development of middle-eastern space programs. Headquartered in Bethesda, Maryland, USA, Lockheed Martin Space designed, assembled and integrated the HS-4/SGS-1 satellite in its Denver, Colorado and Sunnyvale, California facilities. HS-4/SGS-1 will be the 46th Lockheed Martin satellite to be launched by Arianespace, whose backlog comprises one additional satellite built by the American manufacturer. Following the launch of GSAT-11 for the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) using the yearending Ariane 5 of 2018, Arianespace will orbit GSAT-31 utilizing the initial Ariane 5 in 2019. To be installed as Flight VA247’s lower passenger, GSAT-31 is a telecommunications satellite designed and manufactured by the Indian space agency. To be positioned at a longitude of 48° East, GSAT-31 is configured on ISRO’s enhanced I-2K bus structure to provide communications services from geostationary orbit in Ku-band for a lifetime greater than 15 years. By operating GSAT-31, ISRO will – once again – foster the use of space to help bridge the digital divide in the Indian subcontinent as part of its ambitious space program, whose objectives are to develop India while pursuing science research and planetary exploration. Since the launch of India’s APPLE experimental satellite on Ariane Flight L03 in 1981, Arianespace has orbited 22 satellites and signed 24 launch contracts with the Indian space agency. It has also won 89% of the geostationary orbit launch contracts opened to non-Indian launch vehicles. The orbiting of GSAT-31 – along with GSAT-30, which is an additional geostationary satellite to be lofted soon by the European launch services provider, Arianespace – marks another vivid demonstration of the strong bond uniting Europe and India in space cooperation. Liftoff is planned on Tuesday, February 5, 2019 as early as possible within the following launch window: - Between 4:01 p.m. and 5:02 p.m. Washington, D.C. time - Between 6:01 p.m. and 7:02 p.m. Kourou, French Guiana time - Between 21:01 and 22:02 Universal Time (UTC) - Between 10:01 p.m. and 11:02 p.m. Paris time - Between 11:01 p.m. and 0:02 a.m. Athens time, during the night of February 5 to 6, 2019 - Between 0:01 a.m. and 1:02 a.m. Riyadh time, on Wednesday, February 6, 2019 - Between 2:31 a.m. and 3:32 a.m. Bangalore time, on Wednesday, February 6, 2019 Follow the launch live at http://www.arianespace.com and on http://www.youtube.com/arianespace Category Science & Technology Licence Creative Commons Attribution licence (reuse allowed)

This is a replay of the live stream, with archived live chat messages. 1:07:00 Final countdown and launch Launch site: Blue Origin West Texas Suborbital Launch Site Destination: Suborbital flight and self-landing This will be the 10th New Shepard mission and is dedicated to bringing nine NASA-sponsored research and technology payloads into space through NASA’s Flight Opportunities program. NASA’s Flight Opportunities program is an essential program for researchers providing access to microgravity for technology development. Blue supports NASA’s Flight Opportunities program and its role in perfecting technology for a future human presence in space. The payloads flying with us on NS-10 include: Carthage College Space Sciences Program: The Modal Propellant Gauging experiment led by Dr. Kevin Crosby is a joint effort with the NASA Kennedy Space Center Cryogenics Laboratory. It demonstrates a way to measure fuel levels in microgravity by using sound waves. Controlled Dynamics Inc.: The Vibration Isolation Platform (VIP) aims to separate payloads from the normally occurring vibrations experienced during spaceflight. The payload led by Dr. Scott Green allows researchers to have a clear understanding of microgravity’s effects on their research results. Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Lab: On its second flight with Blue, the EM Field experiment will observe and collect data on the naturally occurring electromagnetic fields both inside and outside New Shepard during the launch. Principal Investigator Dr. Todd Smith will use success of this experiment to determine how global measurements of the Earth’s electromagnetic field can be conducted in the future. NASA Goddard Space Flight Center: Cooling tightly-packed electronics onboard a spacecraft can be challenging, and many solutions have not been able to undergo robust testing. Principal Investigator Franklin Robinson will test one of these solutions in his Flow Boiling in Microgap Coolers experiment. NASA Johnson Space Center: On its third flight on New Shepard, the Suborbital Flight Experiment Monitor-2 (SFEM-2) led by Dr. Katy Hurlbert will analyze various aspects of the flight environment during New Shepard’s mission profile, measuring cabin pressure, temperature, CO2, acoustic conditions, acceleration and more. The data collected will help future researchers on New Shepard design the most effective experiments for the vehicle. Purdue University: Dr. Steven Collicott’s payload looks at Zero-Gravity Green Propellant Management Technology, which aims to help advance the use of a safer and more environmentally friendly rocket propellant by better understanding the fuel’s behavior in microgravity. University of Central Florida: Two teams led by Dr. Josh Colwell and Dr. Addie Dove both have planetary science payloads on NS-10. The Collisions Into Dust Experiment (COLLIDE) aims to understand how dust particles react after surface contact during exploration missions to places such as the Moon, Mars and asteroids. The Collection of Regolith Experiment (CORE) addresses the unique challenge of collecting and analyzing material samples in microgravity. University of Florida: Dr. Rob Ferl and Dr. Anna-Lisa Paul are adapting technology designed for the ISS to suborbital uses with their experiment, Validating Telemetric Imaging Hardware for Crew-Assisted and Crew-Autonomous Biological Imaging in Suborbital Applications. By recalibrating the way data is collected, the experiment will enable more biological research on suborbital missions.

Get the full and simple run down here! - https://everydayastronaut.com/prelaunch-preview-blue-origin-ns10/ Blue Origin will be launching their New Shepherd rocket for the 10th time from their west Texas launch site. The New Shepherd is a 18 m (60 feet) suborbital vertical takeoff and landing rocket. The booster is powered by a hydrolox BE-3 engine. The engine burns for about 2 minutes and 30 seconds, pushing rocket toward skyward the 100 km Karman Line. Following main engine cutoff, the capsule then separates from the booster and continues on its ballistic trajectory past the Karman Line. While there are no passengers on board this flight, if there were they could unbuckle from their seats and float around the cabin experiencing a few minutes of weightlessness before having to buckle back in for the capsule’s descent. After capsule separation, the booster descends back toward the launch site and restarts the BE-3 engine a few seconds before touchdown to perform a powered landing. The capsule descends under parachutes and retro rockets fire just before touchdown to cushion the landing. ---------------------------------------------- Check out my album "Maximum Aerodynamic Pressure" anywhere you listen to music (Spotify, iTunes, Google Play, Amazon, etc) or click here for easy links - http://everydayastronaut.com/music Brand new shop now open! - http://shop.everydayastronaut.com Check out my new podcast!!!! - https://ourludicrousfuture.com Show your support and join our discord channel by becoming a Patron - http://patreon.com/everydayastronaut Thinking about ordering a Tesla, use my referral code before it runs out! http://ts.la/tim19804 Already order a Model 3 and waiting for delivery?

SpaceX is targeting Friday, January 11 for the launch of 10 Iridium NEXT satellites from Space Launch Complex 4E (SLC-4E) at Vandenberg Air Force Base in California. This is the eighth and final set of satellites in a series of 75 total satellites that SpaceX will launch for Iridium’s next generation global satellite constellation, Iridium NEXT. The instantaneous launch opportunity is at 7:31 a.m. PST, or 15:31 UTC, and the satellites will begin deployment approximately an hour after launch. Falcon 9’s first stage for the Iridium-8 mission previously supported the Telstar 18 VANTAGE mission in September 2018. Following stage separation, SpaceX will attempt to land Falcon 9’s first stage on the “Just Read the Instructions” droneship, which will be stationed in the Pacific Ocean.

SpaceX will be launching the 8th and final mission for Iridium. This launch will place the final 10 Iridium Next satellites in low Earth polar orbit and complete the constellation. The previous seven missions, beginning with Iridium 1 on January 14, 2017, have delivered 65 Iridium Next satellites to orbit. Want more info?

SpaceX is building a massive massive new rocket down in Boca Chica Texas that will never make it to space. No, this isn’t clickbait, this particular rocket will never go to space. Because it’s not designed to. This is just a hopper version of their upcoming starship, that some people are calling StarHopper, and at first, this thing will likely only fly a few meters at most. But don’t get me wrong, of course when the actual Starship goes online, I fully expect it to make it to space! So today we’re going to do a quick history on SpaceX’s previous fleet of hoppers, why they build them, what this one is going to accomplish and then we’ll build a version in Kerbal Space Program and demonstrate what we’ll hopefully see the StarHopper do in 2019! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- How to install Realism Overhaul to Kerbal Space Program - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0a6PLkDUWF4 Thanks to HazeGrayArt for letting me use his awesome Starship landing animation!!!

Part 1 here! - https://youtu.be/WcSM7keniZw There’s nothing more exciting than a new rocket concept, a new mission to unknown worlds, or an exciting breakthrough technology. Unfortunately for every proposal there’s almost an equal amount of cancellations with only a small handful making it beyond the drawing board. What’s even more frustrating is when these concepts leave paper, have thousands of engineering hours put in, hardware gets built, billions of dollars invested and THEN it gets put on the shelf. In this new series called “cancelled”, we’re going to take a look at space programs and concepts that were so close to complete and sometimes even launched before it got cancelled. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Show your support by becoming a Patreon - http://patreon.com/everydayastronaut This video had three "Moon Walkers" who helped make this possible - Blake Jacobs, Mac Malkawi and TMRO All music is original!

SpaceX created a new record by successfully launching 21 rockets in 2018. 17 - Satellite Launches 3 - ISS Resupply Missions 1 - Falcon Heavy Test Flight Visit us for more geospatial news updates http://www.geospatialworld.net Follow us on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/GeospatialMedia Follow us on Twitter - https://twitter.com/geoworldmedia Follow us on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/geospatialmedia #SpaceX #SpaceXlaunches2018

30:30 Launch. NOTE: This was a Russian-language broadcast. In order to see *approximate* closed captions in English: 1) click the "CC" icon in the video. 2) Click the gear icon in the video (Settings), then click Subtitles ... Auto-translate ... English. Auto-captions with translation is a fantastic feature, that I had never noticed before. Launch site: Vostochny Cosmodrome, Russia A Russian government Soyuz rocket will launch the Kanopus-V 5 and 6 Earth observation satellites. The two spacecraft will assist the Russian government in disaster response, mapping and forest fire detection. Multiple secondary payloads from international companies and institutions will also launch on the Soyuz rocket. The Soyuz 2-1a rocket will use a Fregat upper stage.

2018 was another exciting year of mission activity with Arianespace’s three launchers: 6 Ariane 5, 3 Soyuz and 2 Vega, including four launches performed at a rate of one every two weeks in November/December. Looking forward to 2019!

Russian law enforcement agencies are investigating the source of a hole discovered last August in a Soyuz capsule attached to the International Space Station. It caused a slight loss of pressure but was patched safely.

Watch and discuss live as #SpaceX launches their twenty-first mission of 2018 and the last mission of the year. This launch will utilize a brand new booster that is going to be expended due to mission requirements. GPS-3 (Global Positioning System) or Navstar-3 (Navigation System using Timing And Ranging) are the first evolution stage of the third generation of the GPS satellites. The U.S. Air Force announced in May 2008 that a team led by Lockheed Martin has won the competition to build the next-generation Global Positioning System (Navstar) Space System program, known as GPS III. This program will improve position, navigation, and timing services for the warfighter and civil users worldwide and provide advanced anti-jam capabilities yielding superior system security, accuracy and reliability. When fully deployed, the GPS III constellation will feature a cross-linked command and control architecture, allowing the entire GPS constellation to be updated simultaneously from a single ground station. Additionally, a new spot beam capability for enhanced military (M-Code) coverage and increased resistance to hostile jamming will be incorporated. These enhancements will contribute to improved accuracy and assured availability for military and civilian users worldwide. Lockheed Martin's flight-proven A2100 bus will serve as the GPS III spacecraft platform. Unlike the GPS IIF satellite, the GPS III satellite feature an apogee propulsion system. The satellite will feature a LEROS-1C engine as an apogee propulsion system as well as 2 deployable solar arrays to generate power. ITT, Clifton, N.J. will provide the navigation payload, and General Dynamics Advanced Information Systems, Gilbert, Ariz., will provide the Network Communications Element (NCE) which includes the UHF Crosslink and Tracking Telemetry & Command (TT&C) subsystems. ************************************************************** To learn more about our weather balloon flights, Arduino based flight computer, APRS transmitter, RTTY radio transmitter, ham radio balloon tracking methods or any of our other on-board technology and data sensors visit ➡️ http://overlookhorizon.com Connect with us ➡️http://overlookhorizon.com ➡️http://youtube.com/OLHZN ➡️http://facebook.com/overlookhorizon ➡️http://twitter.com/OLHZN ➡️http://instagram.com/OLHZN ➡️http://reddit.com/u/olhzn ➡️http://overlookhorizon.com/discord 501(c)(3) Charitable Donations ➡️http://overlookhorizon.com/donate ➡️https://donorbox.org/olhzn ➡️https://paypal.com/fundraiser/charity/2727446 ➡️https://smile.amazon.com/ch/82-3099711 Shop & see the weather balloon equipment we use: ➡️http://overlookhorizon.com/shop ➡️http://overlookhorizon.com/shirts ➡️http://overlookhorizon.com/photos Giveaway Rules No Purchase Necessary.

We are targeting December 23rd for launch of the United States Air Force's first Global Positioning System III space vehicle (SV) from Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40) at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Florida. Liftoff is currently targeted for 8:51 a.m. EST, 13:51 UTC. For this mission, the satellite will be deployed to medium Earth orbit approximately 1 hour and 56 minutes after liftoff. Due to mission requirements, SpaceX will not attempt to land Falcon 9’s first stage after launch. Note: The Youtube event start time reflects the estimated liftoff time for this mission. SpaceX's live webcast will begin about 10 minutes before liftoff.

SpaceX is being paid by the US Air Force to launch the first Third Generation Global Positioning System (GPS) satellite to orbit. The Falcon 9 will launch from Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40) on the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station (CCAFS). This is a new block 5 booster, 1054.1, but it will not be recovered. There are no landing legs or grid fins attached to the booster. Need more info?
