CRS-3 Scrub
In cased you missed it, yesterday's early AM SpaceX CRS-3 mission was
scrubbed because of oil "residue" found in non-pressured Dragon trunk. Rocket was lowered and returned to maintenance facility for checkout. Next window is March 30 with backup of April 2. http://new.livestream.com/spacex/events/2833937 Dave |

CRS-3 Scrub
David Spain pounded on his keyboard to tell us
Next window is March 30 with backup of April 2. From their FB timeline: "SpaceX has confirmed it will target its next cargo mission launch to the International Space Station from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida, for 10:50 p.m. EDT, Sunday, March 30" /dps -- Maybe C282Y is simply one of the hangers-on, a groupie following a future guitar god of the human genome: an allele with undiscovered virtuosity, currently soloing in obscurity in Mom's garage.

What SpaceX reports as a "range asset issue". Speculation is that there was a fire at an AF radar tracking station. Don't know if this bumps us to beyond April 2 yet. Stay tuned.

CRS-3 Scrub
Latest word: Air Force ground tracking station had a fire and will not
be able to support any launch operations until April 10th at the earliest. Until then the Eastern Range is closed. Dave |

Until then the Eastern Range is closed. This is somewhat concerning that the Air Force tracking facilities would not be redundant enough to handle such a failure.

Jeff I seem to recall reading a report a number of years back discussing how underfunded the range was. And I suspect not much has changes since then. -- Greg D.

Since I am the king of old news, again in case you missed it, NROL-67
was successfully launched on an ATLAS-5 yesterday, thus clearing the way for Space-X CRS-3 with a still pending NET launch date of April 14. Video of yesterday's ULA NROL-67/ATLAS-5 launch available he http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jt6_UUF0Xus Dave |
