Filmed April 2017 Originally developed in the late 1950’s, the Atlas rocket was, by the 1960’s, responsible for sending John Glenn and the other Mercury astronauts into low Earth orbit. 55 years later, in a bridge of history, the Atlas family of rockets will again be responsible for placing American astronauts into Earth orbit. United Launch Alliance’s (ULA) Atlas V rocket and the Boeing Company’s Starliner crew capsule will return human spaceflight to American soil beginning in the next few years. Who is Caleb Weiss? CALEB WEISS is mission manager of Commercial Crew missions for United Launch Alliance (ULA). In this role, Weiss leads a team responsible for integrating The Boeing Company’s Starliner crew capsule onto ULA’s Atlas V rocket. Prior to his current role, Weiss managed various Air Force and commercial missions for ULA, most recently DigitalGlobe’s WorldView-4 mission, the highest resolution commercial imaging satellite currently on orbit. Weiss has held various systems engineering and project management roles for ULA, mostly centered around launch vehicle integration for Air Force, NASA and commercial customers. Weiss also has managed several special projects, including the deployment of RocketBuilder.com, which sets a new standard of transparency for launch services pricing. Weiss earned Bachelor of Science and Master of Science degrees in aerospace engineering from the University of Colorado at Boulder.

Russian military launched a Soyuz-2-1v/Volga rocket from Plesetsk, carrying four classified payloads, the official media reported. According to a representative of the Ministry of Defense, the mission lifted off at 20:14 Moscow Time from Pad 4 at Site 43 and proceeded as planned. This was the 5th mission for the light-weight launch vehicle. Shortly after the planned launch time, the Russian military also confirmed that the Volga upper stage with its payloads had successfully separated from the (second stage) of the launch vehicle at 20:22 Moscow Time. Around midnight Moscow Time, the official Russian media quoted the Ministry of Defense as saying that the all four satellites had been successfully delivered into their orbits.

There was a "major anomaly" during the launch of an Arianespace Vega rocket, resulting in the loss of "Falcon Eye 1", a $550M spy satellite for the United Arab Emirates. This was Vega's first failure, out of 15 total launches since 2012. The Vega rocket costs about $40 million to launch. The payload and the launch were insured for 369 million euros ($415.57 million USD). It was the largest ever space insurance loss. https://uk.reuters.com/article/italy-avio-mission-insurance/munich-re-among-insurers-for-vega-rocket-uae-satellite-idUKL8N24D25X Built by Airbus Defense and Space with an optical imaging payload from Thales Alenia Space, Falcon Eye 1 was going to be the first of two surveillance satellites ordered by the UAE’s military.

NASA engineers tested the Ascent Abort-2 system for NASA’s Orion spacecraft, which will help pave the way for Artemis missions with astronauts to the Moon and then Mars. A test version of the crew module launched from Space Launch Complex 46 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida. Ascent Abort-2 verified Orion’s abort system can pull the crew module away from an emergency during its ascent to space. During approximately three minutes of flight, a booster lofted the test capsule about six miles into the atmosphere to experience high-stress aerodynamic conditions, at which point the abort sequence was triggered to carry the crew module a safe distance from the rocket. The test flight will help ensure the safety of astronauts in the unlikely event an emergency arises as they rocket into space. Orion is part of NASA’s backbone for deep space exploration, along with the Space Launch System and Gateway, which will land the first woman and next man on the Moon by 2024. Through the Artemis program, the next American Moon walkers will depart Earth aboard Orion and begin a new era of exploration.

New postponement due to weather conditions Kourou, French Guiana, July 7, 2019 – As high-altitude winds above the Guiana Space Center remain unfavorable, Arianespace has taken the decision not to attempt a launch on Sunday, July 7, 2019. The new target date will be announced as soon as possible based on the evolution of weather conditions. The Vega launch vehicle and its FalconEye1 spacecraft payload are in stable and safe conditions. --------- For its sixth launch of the year, and the 15th Vega mission since this launcher began its career at the Guiana Space Center in 2012, Arianespace will orbit the FalconEye1 satellite. This Earth observation satellite for the United Arab Emirates was developed by Airbus Defence and Space as prime contractor and Thales Alenia Space as co-prime. Flight VV15 marks the 12th Earth observation mission for Vega, a versatile light launcher. Payload FalconEye1 Satellite The FalconEye satellite is a high performance optical Earth-observation satellite system for the Armed Forces of the United Arab Emirates (UAEAF) manufactured by Airbus Defence and Space as prime contractor and Thales Alenia Space as co-prime. The overall system is based on two identical satellites, FalconEye1 and FalconEye2, in Sun-synchronous orbit (SSO). Each satellite features an Earth observation payload, with very-high-resolution optical capabilities. It is equipped with a ground system for monitoring, receiving and processing the images. Upon the system delivery, Emirati engineers will control and operate the spacecraft. The FalconEye1 satellite, to be orbited by Flight VV15, will be the first space component of the system, and will have a dual use purpose: support the needs of UAE Armed Forces, and provide the commercial market with images. It will weigh approximately 1,197 kg. at launch and will be raised to a heliosynchronous orbit at 611 kilometers. FalconEye2 will be launched later this year, also utilizing a Vega vehicle. As satellite prime contractor, Airbus Defence and Space was in charge of the satellite design, integration and tests, and supplied the platform. FalconEye1 is the 131th Airbus Defence and Space satellite to be launched by Arianespace. There currently are 20 Airbus Defence and Space satellites in Arianespace’s backlog. Thales Alenia Space, as co-prime, designed and supplied the Optical Instrument and the image chain. Arianespace had launched 159 satellites for the co-prime of this program, and there are seven additional Thales Alenia Space satellites in Arianespace’s order book. The FalconEye program relies on a heritage from previous French national satellite programs, such as Pleiades. Since its creation in 1980 as the world's first commercial space transportation company, Arianespace has led the launch services industry with many operational firsts and numerous record-setting missions.

While I'm travelling I'm hoping to keep up to date with the important news - SpaceX's latest Falcon Heavy launch was the first night launch, and one of the most spectacular launches in decades. Look for me on this year's Asteroid Day.

SpaceX is targeting Monday, June 24 for a Falcon Heavy launch of the STP-2 mission from Launch Complex 39A (LC-39A) at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The primary launch window opens at 11:30 p.m. EDT, or 3:30 UTC on June 25, and closes at 3:30 a.m. EDT on June 25, or 7:30 UTC. A backup launch window opens on June 25 at 11:30 p.m. EDT, or 3:30 UTC on June 26, and closes at 3:30 a.m. EDT on June 26, or 7:30 UTC. Deployments will begin approximately 12 minutes after liftoff and end approximately 3 hours and 32 minutes after liftoff. Falcon Heavy’s side boosters for the STP-2 mission previously supported the Arabsat-6A mission in April 2019. Following booster separation, Falcon Heavy’s two side boosters will attempt to land at SpaceX’s Landing Zones 1 and 2 (LZ-1 and LZ-2) at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida. Falcon Heavy’s center core will attempt to land on the “Of Course I Still Love You” droneship, which will be stationed in the Atlantic Ocean.

China sent a new satellite of the BeiDou Navigation Satellite System (BDS) into space from the Xichang Satellite Launch Center in its southwestern province of Sichuan on Tuesday. Launched on board a Long March 3B carrier rocket, the satellite was sent to a inclined geosynchronous earth orbit.

For the first time, SpaceX has launched its Falcon Heavy rocket with US Air Force payload onboard. It's also the first time that SpaceX has launched its Falcon Heavy with reused rockets. The launch is an audition of sorts to get SpaceX a potentially multibillion-dollar government contract for future launches.

SpaceX is gearing up for its busiest Falcon Heavy megarocket launch yet and now, thanks to the U.S. Air Force and NASA. The rocket, just shy of 230 feet tall has been the tallest rocket and most powerful rocket since the Saturn V rockets last used in the Apollo space program in 1973. It consists of three boosters instead of one, and fires all of its 27 engines simultaneously producing more than 5 million pounds of thrust at liftoff. Per SpaceX’s official confirmation, a “quick-look” inspection of static fire telemetry has indicated that the company’s Falcon Heavy rocket is ready for its next launch in less than three months, a milestone that could also allow both flight-proven side boosters to tie SpaceX’s own record for booster turnaround. When the next SpaceX Falcon Heavy launches on 24th June Monday from NASA's historic Pad 39A at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, the heavy-lift rocket will be carrying 24 different satellites for the Air Force's Space Test Program-2 mission. If you're wondering what two dozen satellites look like inside a Falcon Heavy nose cone, wonder no more. In this video Engineering Today will discuss, SpaceX Falcon Heavy megarocket which goes vertical ahead of planned Monday launch.Why Elon Musk says this Monday's Falcon Heavy flight will be SpaceX'smost difficult launch ever? Let’s get into details. #EngineeringToday #SpaceX #SpaceXFalconHeavy Inspired by www.teslarati.com www.space.com AUDIO: Voiceover by Scott Leffler -- scottleffler.com

Here’s a fun question that not only have I myself asked, but I get asked fairly often, why do we hear a call out like “roger roll” or “roll program complete” at which point we can see the rocket rotate or roll on its X axis… The best example of this was the Space Shuttle which had a very obvious and dramatic roll program. As soon as it cleared the tower, you can see it making a very impressive and sometimes scary looking roll. Now a maneuver like this makes sense when a vehicle is asymmetrical like the Space Shuttle, but why do cylindrical rockets like the Saturn V, Titan, Atlas, Delta IV etc etc even bother doing a roll? Can’t rockets just tip over in whatever direction they need to go? Do a little pitch here, a little yaw there just as long as the pointy end is going the direction it’s intended to go, who cares which side of the rocket is facing the Earth and which side is facing space… right? So today we’ll first define the pitch, yaw, roll and their corresponding axis on a rocket, then we’re going to dive into why a rocket rolls in the first place, take a look at launch azimuths and their relationships to trajectories and we’ll look at some unique solutions to orientations including some rockets that don’t roll on ascent to align with their trajectory.

🔴 LIVE SpaceX Falcon 9 Launching #Radarsat Mission - Canlı Yayın SpaceX Falcon 9 SpaceX is targeting Wednesday 12th June for the launch of a Falcon 9 carrying the RADARSAT CONSTELLATION MISSION. Launch time is 10:17 EDT from SLC-4E, Vandenberg Air Force Base, California The RADARSAT Constellation Mission (RCM) is a three-spacecraft fleet of Earth observation satellites by the Canadian Space Agency. With satellites smaller than RADARSAT-2,[3] the RCM will provide new applications—made possible through the constellation approach—as well as continuing to provide C-band radar data to RADARSAT-2 users.[4] One of its most significant improvements is in its operational use of synthetic-aperture radar (SAR) data.[5] The primary goal of RCM is to provide continuous C-band SAR data to RADARSAT-2 users, as SAR imagery at a high temporal resolution is required by several users in the Canadian government.[5] Other improvements include more frequent area coverage of Canada and reduced risk of a service interruption.[6] SpaceX, 12 Haziran Çarşamba günü, RADARSAT FELSEFE MİSYONU taşıyan bir Falcon 9'un lansmanını hedeflemektedir. Fırlatma zamanı 10:17 EDT, SLC-4E, Vandenberg Hava Kuvvetleri Üssü, Kaliforniya RADARSAT Constellation Mission (RCM), Kanada Uzay Ajansı'nın üç uzay aracı Dünya gözlem uydu filosudur. RADARSAT-2'den daha küçük olan uydularla [3], RCM, RADARSAT-2 kullanıcılarına C-grubu radar verisi sağlamaya devam etmenin yanı sıra, takımyıldız yaklaşımı ile mümkün kılan yeni uygulamalar sunacaktır. [4] En önemli gelişmelerinden biri, sentetik açıklıklı radar (SAR) verilerinin operasyonel kullanımındadır. [5] RCM'nin temel amacı, RADARSAT-2 kullanıcılarına sürekli C-bant SAR verisi sağlamaktır, çünkü yüksek geçici bir çözünürlükte SAR görüntüleri Kanada hükümetindeki birkaç kullanıcı tarafından istenmektedir. [5] Diğer iyileştirmeler arasında Kanada’nın daha sık kapsama alanı ve hizmet kesintisi riskinin azaltılması yer almaktadır. [6] SpaceX zielt am Mittwoch, den 12. Juni, auf den Start eines Falcon 9 mit der RADARSAT CONSTELLATION MISSION ab. Startzeit ist 10:17 Uhr EDT von SLC-4E, Luftwaffenstützpunkt Vandenberg, Kalifornien Die RADARSAT Constellation Mission (RCM) ist eine aus drei Raumfahrzeugen bestehende Flotte von Erdbeobachtungssatelliten der Canadian Space Agency. Mit Satelliten, die kleiner als RADARSAT-2 sind, [3] wird das RCM neue Anwendungen bereitstellen - ermöglicht durch den Konstellationsansatz - und RADARSAT-2-Benutzern weiterhin C-Band-Radardaten bereitstellen. [4] Eine der bedeutendsten Verbesserungen besteht in der operativen Verwendung von SAR-Daten (Radar mit synthetischer Apertur). [5] Das Hauptziel von RCM ist die Bereitstellung kontinuierlicher C-Band-SAR-Daten für RADARSAT-2-Benutzer, da mehrere Benutzer in der kanadischen Regierung SAR-Bilder mit hoher zeitlicher Auflösung benötigen. [5] Weitere Verbesserungen betreffen eine häufigere Abdeckung Kanadas und ein geringeres Risiko einer Dienstunterbrechung. [6] В среду, 12 июня, SpaceX планирует запустить Falcon 9 с миссией RADARSAT CONSTELLATION. Время запуска в 10:17 по восточному поясному времени с SLC-4E, авиабаза Ванденберг, Калифорния Созвездие Миссии RADARSAT - это космический парк спутников наблюдения Земли, состоящий из трех космических аппаратов Канадского космического агентства. Со спутниками, меньшими, чем RADARSAT-2, [3] RCM предоставит новые приложения - ставшие возможными благодаря использованию подхода созвездия, - а также продолжит предоставлять радиолокационные данные в диапазоне C пользователям RADARSAT-2. [4] Одним из наиболее значительных улучшений является оперативное использование данных радиолокатора с синтезированной апертурой (SAR). [5] Основной целью RCM является предоставление непрерывных данных SAR в диапазоне C для пользователей RADARSAT-2, так как изображения в SAR с высоким временным разрешением требуются несколькими пользователями в канадском правительстве [5]. Другие улучшения включают в себя более частое покрытие территории Канады и снижение риска прерывания обслуживания. [6] #Livestream #NASA #SpaceX

Watch and discuss live as #SpaceX launches their sixth mission of 2019 and the first mission for the #Starlink network to supply worldwide broadband internet from low Earth orbit. This will be the first of many Starlink launches launching a total of 60 generation 1 Starlink satellites. Each satellite weights 227kg adding up to a total payload mass of 13620kg. The deployment of the satellites will start about one hour after launch in a 440km high low earth orbit. The satellites will use their own onboard krypton fueled ion engines to raise their orbit to the planned 550km operating altitude. The Starlink satellites will enable high bandwidth low latency connection everywhere around the globe. According to tweets of Musk, limited service will be able to start after 7 Starlink launches, moderate after 12. The first stage will try to perform a landing after lifting the second stage together with the payload to about 70 to 90 km. Due to the very high payload mass, the stage will not have enough propellant left on board, so will instead land about 610km offshore on Of Course I Still Love You (OCISLY), SpaceX east coast Autonomous Spaceport Drone Ship (ASDS). Tug boat Hollywood and support-ship Go Quest are a safe distance from the landing zone and will return the booster to Port Canaveral after the Landing. Go Navigator and Crew Dragon recovery vessel Go Searcher are about 120km further offshore and will try to recover both payload fairing halves after they parachute back from space and softly touch down on the ocean surface. They two will return to Port Canaveral after the mission. ************************************************************** 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.
