Trying to double-up?
http://www.theverge.com/2017/1/31/14...llite-contract
Suggests that a quintet of Iridium Next satellites will be lauched in conjunction with a pair of NASA satellites. It isn't entirely clear, but it appears the Iridium satellites are the hitchhikers. Given that SpaceX have launched 10 of the Iridium satellites in a single shot before, is this perhaps trying to squeeze things into a smaller number of launches? Schedule issues? rick jones -- Don't anthropomorphize computers. They hate that. - Anonymous these opinions are mine, all mine; HPE might not want them anyway... feel free to post, OR email to rick.jones2 in hpe.com but NOT BOTH... |
