Canopus Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 (edited) Yeah should have switched to the situational view much earlier. People just sitting around the control room is really not that interesting. Edit: changing to telemetry isn‘t working either it seems Edited April 17, 2019 by Canopus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThatGuyWithALongUsername Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 (edited) The, uh, telemetry seemed a bit off... lol. I liked how the RCS manuevers somehow also translated to puffs of the first stage engines, not to mention the whole imitation SSTO thingy going on there.

MinimumSky5 Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 Can we also sack the camera oparetors, who seemed to go on a smoke break juat after the rocket plume dissapated? Or the people who thought that what we really want to see, rather than the second stage ignition, it the TEL leaning serenely inti the breeze?

Ultimate Steve Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 Yeah, of course the launch I told my crush about (and was her first launch to watch I think) had to be one of the least interesting visually... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tater Posted May 30, 2019 Author Share Posted May 30, 2019 Omega solid test live in 11 minutes (not sure if fire at this time, or coverage): (just said T-25 minutes, so fire nominally at the top of the hour) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotius Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 So. How much of a delay it means? A year? Less? At least test stand is fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XB-70A Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 Six years ago, Lunar Atmosphere and Dust Environment Explorer (LADEE) was launched atop a Minotaur-5 (1) for its 223 days-long journey. Although this launch did not make the headlines of the general press, it remains known in the aerospace enthusiasts community for a particular photo... On the positive side, the mission was extended to more than twice its presumed length of 100 days, providing amazing pictures of the lunar environment.

Spoiler ... Meanwhile at Wallops, NG-12 or CRS-12 apparently has been delayed to November 2nd. I live ~5 hours away, I think I could spare a weekend- I really hope that date sticks!

ThatGuyWithALongUsername Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 Well, it finally happened, after over a year and a half of waiting this thing actually launched. It will be sad to probably see Pegasus go, though... that was probably the last Pegasus launch ever. Early Orbital Sciences was so cool and ambitious and forgotten, you know? They anticipated the small satellite launcher boom, they just built their vehicle 20 years too early... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThatGuyWithALongUsername Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 (edited) A bit of a late update, but it will remain horizontal until it goes vertical again sometime overnight. And then... launch. And... I'll be there. (Only the second launch I've ever seen in person, and the first one was a while ago. I'm getting pretty excited!) ...
