Expendable Launch Vehicle Status Report - September 4, 2009
Sept. 4, 2009
George H. Diller
Kennedy Space Center, Fla.
321-867-2468
STATUS REPORT: ELV-090409
EXPENDABLE LAUNCH VEHICLE STATUS REPORT
Mission: Space Tracking and Surveillance System - Demonstrators
Program (STSS-Demo)
Launch Vehicle: Delta II 7920-10
Launch Pad: Launch Pad 17-B, Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Fla.
Launch Date: No Earlier Than Sept. 17, 2009
Launch Window: 8 - 9 p.m. EDT
Prelaunch preparations at Pad 17B are going well and are on schedule.
The Flight Program Verification took place Friday. This is an
integrated electrical and mechanical test of the Delta II together
with the STSS Demo payload that includes both countdown and flight
event milestones.
The next major activity is the installation of the payload fairing
around the STSS spacecraft next week on Sept. 9.
Spacecraft: Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO)
Launch Vehicle: Atlas V-401
Launch Pad: Launch Complex 41, Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Fla.
Launch Date: Feb. 3, 2010
The launch of the Solar Dynamics Observatory is rescheduled to Feb.
3,
2010, to allow sufficient time to launch the other planned missions
that are ahead of SDO on the Atlas V manifest.
On the evening of Sept. 2, a three-day SDO Launch/Mission Simulation
came to a close. It began on Aug. 31 with a simulated launch,
spacecraft separation from the Atlas V, solar array and antenna
deployments, and a simulated contingency maneuver. The test was
successful with only minor troubleshooting necessary.
Spacecraft: Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE)
Launch Vehicle: Delta II 7320
Launch Pad: SLC-2, Vandenberg Air Force Base, Calif.
Launch Date: Dec. 7, 2009
At the Astrotech payload processing facility on north Vandenberg, the
WISE spacecraft functional testing was successfully completed early
this week as planned. Simulated launch pad operations tests were
performed on Sept. 1. These are functional tests associated with
launch day spacecraft flight system power on and final configuration
for launch. All were successfully completed.
Build-up of the Delta II at Space Launch Complex 2 is scheduled to
begin on Oct. 19 with hoisting of the first stage into the launcher.
