... 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 Well, the mission may be delayed, depending on how the space walk goes. -- Greg D.

I was glad to hear this. Having backups is a good thing, but suspending operations due to lack of certain backups must be carefully considered. From the story below, it sounds like this has been done. http://www.nasaspaceflight.com/2014/...m-failure-iss/ Still on for NET tomorrow (Monday) April 14 at 4:58PM EDT. Exciting times. I'm wishing SpaceX/NASA has another successful Dragon/ISS mission this time around.

CRS-3 Scrub
Scrub again! This time it's a helium leak in the first stage. We all know from the Onion video of six years back you don't mess around with those!
http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=6bQpgU67Puo Next launch opportunity in NET Friday April 18. Weather permitting. This thread certainly has legs. |

Hard to say since SpaceX is private. But, they were forced to develop their own hardware when they couldn't source such aerospace hardware in the US for reasonable prices.

As such, there have been issues with these sorts of things, like Dragon flight which had the issue with the Dragon propulsion system failing to pressurize correctly. Jeff They were lucky that in doing so they did run afoul of ITAR. Still on today for a 3:25PM EDT launch time. Dave Dave |

Jeff In doing so, if they had to spec. specific parts from a foreign manufacturer they are lucky they didn't get hit with ITAR. Still on time for a launch today at 3:25PM EDT. Looks like low overcast at the Cape today, so probably not visible for long. Dave |
