It's already been decided, Jeb is a horrible name for a real rocket... for reasons that should be obvious. And just like that, even without a launch, I'm out of likes again. Sigh.

Ultimate Steve Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 Wait, a delay?!?!?! Okay, so now it's on Saturday... *crosses fingers for a delay of one more day so I will finally be able to see a launch in person* (I'll be in Florida starting Sunday) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bornholio Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 http://www.spacex.com/webcast Quote Today's launch attempt of the eleventh Commercial Resupply Services mission (CRS-11) for NASA from Launch Complex 39A is scrubbed due to weather. The next launch opportunity is Saturday, June 3 at 5:07 p.m. EDT or 21:07 UTC. The CRS-11 mission will be the first reflight of a Dragon spacecraft and will mark the 100th launch from historic LC-39A at Kennedy Space Center. Following stage separation, the first stage of Falcon 9 will attempt to land at SpaceX’s Landing Zone 1 (LZ-1) at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Florida."

Streetwind Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 (edited) Meanwhile, an Ariane 5 stoically performed its duty less than two hours after SpaceX's scrub, even though nobody on the forums cared (and I was asleep) One of the two satellites it launched, ViaSat-2, was originally scheduled to ride a Falcon Heavy but was shifted to Arianespace due to SpaceX being unable to get the rocket flying in time. It was the heaviest satellite Boeing has ever built, and this flight was the highest amount of payload ever launched to GTO by an Ariane 5 (10.865 tons). Kourou must have much more benign weather than Florida, considering how reliably those go up precisely when scheduled. I only remember one single weather-related scrub in the past four years or so. KSC needs to construct some sort of giant sci-fi weather shield, stat! Edited June 2, 2017 by Streetwind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, with the weather Florida does seem like a horrible place for a space center, but launching out of Arizona presents its own set of problems.

Well, Kourou is the shore of a continent, while Florida is a headland jutting into the sea. It's just that one is a constituent state while the other is an overseas development.

Lukaszenko Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 Dammit, next launch is smack in the middle of my party time. I can postpone work or sleep, but Saturday evening? Maybe I'll just host a launch party.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kerbinorbiter Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 the thing about launching at Brownsville is yes they can attempt a land EDL (entry and landing) only from Brownsville but it would only work with a certian inclination however i think that inclination is 51.6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Jim Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 (edited) Hey everyone... I hate to rain on everyone's parade... literally... but I want y'all to be prepared... The next launch attempt will be Saturday at 5:07 p.m.... But I checked our local 7-day forecast, and it's 50-60% rain chances all week. Looks like the afternoon rainy season is here. So just be prepared... the same thing that happened yesterday could quite likely happen tomorrow. Sorry.... welcome to Florida in the summer... Oh, I just had a thought... if y'all want to check it yourselves, this is our local weather website: http://www.baynews9.com/content/news/baynews9/weather/klystron-9-radar/local.html I'm nearest the town of New Port Richey... and if you draw a line straight across the state from here, and just a tiny bit north, you'll hit NASA.
