Launch of SpaceX Falcon 9 FT with Iridium-6 & GRACE-FO

SpaceX is targeting launch of Iridium-6/GRACE-FO on Tuesday, May 22 from Space Launch Complex 4E (SLC-4E) at Vandenberg Air Force Base, California. The instantaneous launch opportunity is at 12:47 p.m. PDT, or 19:47 UTC. The GRACE-FO satellites will be deployed approximately eleven minutes and thirty seconds after launch, followed by the deployment of five Iridium® NEXT satellites beginning about an hour after launch. A backup instantaneous launch opportunity is available on Wednesday, May 23 at 12:42 p.m. PDT, or 19:42 UTC. Falcon 9’s first stage for the Iridium-6/GRACE-FO mission previously supported the Zuma mission from Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40) at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in January 2018. SpaceX will not attempt to recover Falcon 9’s first stage after launch.

Watch and discuss live as SpaceX launches a previously launched Block 4 (B1043.2) Falcon 9 rocket carrying the Iridium-6 mission carrying 5 of the Iridium NEXT satellites into orbit. This mission will only carry half of the usual amount of Iridium satellites since it will share the ride with two scientific satellites, GRACE-FO 1 and 2 for NASA & GFZ (German Research Centre for Geosciences). Iridium NEXT will replace the world's largest commercial satellite network of low-Earth orbit satellites in what will be one of the largest "tech upgrades" in history. Iridium has partnered with Thales Alenia Space for the manufacturing, assembly and testing of all 81 Iridium NEXT satellites, 75 of which will be launched by SpaceX. Powered by a uniquely sophisticated global constellation of 66 cross-linked Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites, the Iridium network provides high-quality voice and data connections over the planet’s entire surface, including across oceans, airways and polar regions. GRACE-FO will continue the task of the original GRACE mission, providing critical measurements that will be used together with other data to monitor the movement of water masses across the planet and mass changes within Earth itself. Monitoring changes in ice sheets and glaciers, underground water storage and sea level provides a unique view of Earth’s climate and has far-reaching benefits. ************************************************************** Donate to our 501(c)(3) non-profit charitable organization here: Donorbox: https://donorbox.org/olhzn Paypal Charity: https://www.paypal.com/fundraiser/charity/2727446 Amazon Smile: https://smile.amazon.com/ch/82-3099711 ************************************************************** Learn more about our weather balloon flights, data & videos at: http://overlookhorizon.com To learn more about our Arduino based flight computer, APRS transmitter, RTTY radio transmitter, ham radio balloon tracking methods or any of our other onboard technology and data sensors; visit http://overlookhorizon.com OUR FLIGHT SYSTEMS: Styrofoam Cooler: http://amzn.to/2pLYNkz Arduino MEGA: http://amzn.to/2pMh3KC Lightdow LD4000 Action Camera: http://amzn.to/2qFlsNu Rocketman Parachute: http://amzn.to/2pecXrx Adafruit PowerBoost: http://amzn.to/2q4v2fL uBlox Neo 6M GPS: http://amzn.to/2pMfUm1 DS18b20 Temperature Sensor: http://amzn.to/2qK4goZ Data Logging Shield: http://amzn.to/2pengvC BMP180 Pressure Sensor: http://amzn.to/2pLcSMW Piezo Speaker Alarm: http://amzn.to/2q4AEXb Orbtronics 18650 Lithium Ion Batteries: http://amzn.to/2pLD4XW Radar Reflector: http://amzn.to/2fmY7il Please Donate!

The 700 tonne steel table that will support Ariane 6 at liftoff was transferred to the pad at Europe’s Spaceport in French Guiana on 10 September 2018. It is so large that it arrived in parts by ship in February and was then welded together and fitted with equipment at a preparation area 250 m from the launch pad. Moving this giant 4 m high, 20 m long and 18 m wide table to its permanent position on the centre of the pad is complex. Four hydraulic jacks lifted the table then two trollies moved the table to the edge of the launch pad. A temporary railway and a mechanical guidance system helped roll the table into position over the centre of the pad where it will be lowered with millimeter precision into its final position. Further mechanical, fluidic and electrical equipment will be installed inside and outside the table.

A United Launch Alliance (ULA) Delta II rocket carrying launch NASA’s Ice, Cloud and land Elevation Satellite-2 (ICESat-2) mission lifts off from Space Launch Complex-2 at Vandenberg Air Force Base, California, on Sept. 15, 2018. ICESat-2 is the 155th and final launch of the Delta II rocket. From its origin as the launch vehicle for the first Global Positioning System (GPS) satellites to NASA’s Earth observing, science and interplanetary satellites including Mars rovers Spirit and Opportunity to vital commercial communication and imaging satellites, the Delta II rocket has truly earned its place in space history.

Watch and discuss live as the United Launch Alliance's Delta II rocket launches for the final time from SLC-2W at Vandenberg Air Force Base with NASA's ICESat-2 spacecraft. Liftoff is targeting 12:46 UTC (8:46 AM EDT) on Saturday, 15 September. If all goes as planned, this will be the 100th consecutive successful Delta II flight and 156th flight overall since 1989. This Delta II is flying in the 7420-10 configuration, with four GEM-40 solid rocket motors and a 3-meter diameter composite payload fairing. United Launch Alliance will use the final Delta II rocket to launch the Ice, Cloud and land Elevation Satellite-2 (ICESat-2) for NASA to measure the thickness of Earth’s polar ice sheets. The satellite’s primary instrument will pulse its laser at Earth 10,000 times a second and precisely measure the time it takes the beams to bounce off the ground and return to ICESat-2 to deduce the elevation below within the accuracy of 4 millimeters. The satellite advances the capabilities of its predecessor, ICESat-1, launched by a Delta II rocket and operated from 2003 to 2009. ************************************************************** Donate to our 501(c)(3) non-profit charitable organization here: Donorbox: https://donorbox.org/olhzn Paypal Charity: https://www.paypal.com/fundraiser/charity/2727446 Amazon Smile: https://smile.amazon.com/ch/82-3099711 ************************************************************** Learn more about our weather balloon flights, data & videos at: http://overlookhorizon.com To learn more about our Arduino based flight computer, APRS transmitter, RTTY radio transmitter, ham radio balloon tracking methods or any of our other onboard technology and data sensors; visit http://overlookhorizon.com OUR FLIGHT SYSTEMS: Styrofoam Cooler: http://amzn.to/2pLYNkz Arduino MEGA: http://amzn.to/2pMh3KC Lightdow LD4000 Action Camera: http://amzn.to/2qFlsNu Rocketman Parachute: http://amzn.to/2pecXrx Adafruit PowerBoost: http://amzn.to/2q4v2fL uBlox Neo 6M GPS: http://amzn.to/2pMfUm1 DS18b20 Temperature Sensor: http://amzn.to/2qK4goZ Data Logging Shield: http://amzn.to/2pengvC BMP180 Pressure Sensor: http://amzn.to/2pLcSMW Piezo Speaker Alarm: http://amzn.to/2q4AEXb Orbtronics 18650 Lithium Ion Batteries: http://amzn.to/2pLD4XW Radar Reflector: http://amzn.to/2fmY7il Please Donate!
