U biti topic već postoji pa bi trebalo ovo sve prebaciti tamo.

...sada vidim tamo da je lansiranje bilo predviđeno čak za 12.04....znači odgoda i ovoga možda nije isključena.

U stvari SPACE X je bio najavio da će se pripreme za lansiranje možda mjesecima odugovlačiti jer se mnoge provjere rade prvi put. Oni su zapravo spominjali termine koji su bili samo najraniji mogući termini za lansiranje tako da to i nisu baš neke prave odgode, to nije ono kao kad se odgodi termin koji je precizno određen kod operativnih raketa-nosača. Tako naprimjer, kada su isprobali motore na raketi na rampi, tada još nisu imali spreman paket za samouništenje kojeg su morali još ispitivati prije nego što su ga ugradili u raketu (za slučaj da treba na komandu raketu uništiti, što obavezno raketa nosač mora imati, za slučaj nepredviđenog neželjenog skretanja). Dakle, zaposleni su oko mnogih sustava koje detaljno ispituju.

As we continue to progress towards the first Falcon 9 launch from Cape Canaveral, certification of the flight termination system (FTS) and subsequent range availability remain the two primary schedule drivers.

Air Force Range safety requires the FTS system, which allows them to safely end the launch should the vehicle stray from its designated flight corridor. The system consists of a command receiver and an ordnance system designed to split the vehicle's fuel and liquid oxygen tanks in the event of an errant flight.

SpaceX is working closely with Ensign Bickford to complete testing of the explosive elements of the FTS system, but there are other components, such as the FTS radios, antennas and the transponder that come from other suppliers as well. All of these components must be qualified specifically for our flight environments, so unfortunately, it is not simply a case of buying “off the shelf”.

FTS testing is an iterative process where the number of remaining tests depends on the results of previous tests, making it very difficult to predict a completion date. Once testing is complete, final data is submitted to SpaceX and Air Force Range safety officials for review and acceptance. Much of the range calendar for May is already reserved for other activities, so range availability will be a key factor in identifying a launch date. Fortunately the FTS is the last remaining significant milestone--the vehicle is otherwise ready for flight, so once we complete certification, we will be “all systems go” for launch.

Onda ovi čisto spekuliraju oko datuma lansiranja na osnovu nekih informacija koje samo načuju biće.

Jeli gledate prijenos lansiranja?  ...    nešto se spominje za 50min...    možda sam i krivo vidio...

Ovako kažu na SpaceX stranici

Friday 4 June 2010

Launch Window Opens: 11:00 AM Eastern / 8:00 AM Pacific / 1500 UTC
Launch window lasts 4 hours. SpaceX has also reserved a second launch day on Saturday 5 June, with the same hours.

As always, weather will play a significant role in our overall launch schedule. The weather experts at the Cape are giving us a 40% chance of “no go” conditions for both days of our window, citing the potential for cumulus clouds and anvil clouds from thunderstorms.

If the weather cooperates, SpaceX will provide a live webcast of the launch events, presently scheduled to begin 20 minutes prior to the opening of the launch window. Click here to visit our webcast page which will also be accessible from our home page the day of launch.

Dodatak: T-minus 45 minutes and counting.

Evo naletih na neke sličice sa rollouta.






Jedino što me brine je vrijeme, nekako mi se čini da bi moglo biti problema s olujama taman u launch window-u.

1437 GMT (10:37 a.m. EDT)
The edge of the storms is now less than 50 miles west of the launch pad and moving east.
