SpaceX Scrubs Falcon 9 Booster Launch To ISS, Rescheduled For Friday

January 7, 2015 By Denise Ehrlich

SpaceX have to scrub its first launch of 2015 at around 5:09 am early today, which would have utilized the firm’s Falcon 9 booster to send its reusable Dragon resupply vessel to the International Space Station (ISS) with a shipment of supplies. The company has now rescheduled the Cape Canaveral display for Friday, which was put for the most striving test yet of SpaceX’s cost-saving booster reuse plan.

The task is a pivotal one for SpaceX as it marks the company’s first attempt at the delicate maneuver of landing a core piece of the Falcon 9 (v1.1) booster rocket on a barge in the ocean near the launch site after detaching. Once the first phase of the rocket launches, and has completed its work, it will return to Earth to attempt to land on a sea barge in the Atlantic Ocean. If this sort of capacity can be proven, it guarantees significantly lower launch costs later on.

All fragments of a rocket are typically tossed after use and are smashed as they fall back down.

SpaceX, though, has been honing the controlled return of the first phase of its Falcon 9 vehicle.

The trouble accountable of Tuesday’s scrub choice linked with a technical issue spotted in the steering system of the rocket’s upper stage.

The next opportunity to send up the vehicle will be on Friday at 10:09 GMT (05:09 local Florida time).

SpaceX itself has been playing down hopes, rating the odds of victory at close to 50-50.

“I’m almost certain this will be extremely thrilling, however, as I said, it’s a test,” advised Hans Koenigsmann, VP for mission certification at SpaceX.

“There’s a sure probability that this won’t work out okay that something will happen. It’s the first time we have attempted this – no one has ever attempted it as much as we know.”

The main role of the flight is to send the Dragon payload ship on a way to meet with the International Space Station (ISS).

It will be the first American re-supply mission to the orbiting stage since October’s astounding blast of a freight framework operated by contender Orbital Sciences Corporation.

However, it is the result of the SpaceX test that is prone to stand out as truly newsworthy.

The firm trusts it can return, revamp and re-use key components of its rockets.

To this end, it has been trying first-arrange promoters that relight their engines to attempt to abate their fall through the environment, joining fins to help guide them downwards, and legs to make a stable landing.

Thus far, there have just been counterfeit landings, in which the stage is brought to a floating position at the surface of the sea, where, without a robust stage to set down, every promoter has afterward been lost in the water.

Friday’s endeavor will be different in that SpaceX has sent a hovering freight boat to the targeted return site approximately 300km northeast of Cape Canaveral, Florida.
