SpaceX launches Dragon to space station

RATE THIS! +11
Posted in Business on 1st Mar, 2013 06:03 PM by AlexMuller

SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket blasted off Friday to send an unmanned Dragon cargo capsule on its quickest trip yet to the International Space Station, but the company reported a problem with the Dragon in orbit.


The Falcon 9 made a problem-free ascent from its launch pad at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida at 10:10 a.m. ET. A half-hour after launch, SpaceX's billionaire founder, Elon Musk, said in a Twitter update that controllers were looking into a technical issue involving the capsule's thrusters.


"Issue with Dragon thruster pods," Musk wrote. "System inhibiting three of four [pods] from initializing. About to command inhibit override."

 

The thruster snag forced a delay in deploying the Dragon's power-generating solar arrays. "Holding on solar array deployment until at least two thruster pods are active," Musk said in a follow-up tweet. The Dragon can remain on battery power for 18 hours after launch.


Musk said the command to override the Dragon's onboard system and initialize the thruster pods was being issued during the capsule's pass over a ground station in Australia. A news briefing is planned for later Friday to discuss the status of what's expected to be a three-week resupply mission.


This is the third Dragon flight to the station: The first one, which took place last May, was a demonstration flight aimed at proving that California-based SpaceX could safely reach the space station, get hooked up, and then descend again to a splashdown. Last October's second flight marked the first of what's expected to be 12 resupply missions to the station, under the terms of a $1.6 billion contract with NASA.

SpaceX takes a lot of initiative in continuing their part in our space program. Hopefully the team will be able to get the problem fixed with the thrusters and the Falcon 9 will continue on its mission.

Absolutely. This is what America needs. SpaceX and other private industries need to replace the Government run NASA as soon as possible. NASA has had it's day and needs to be gone!

Have to agree with you, look at the many years that NASA sat and did very little. Now with SpaceX on board, look out here she comes.Hopefully they will be able to fix this problems and continue on to their destination.

Yes, just so nay! I must humbly agree, NASA is just waste of what money the current administration allows it to have. Just enough to keep going after a fashion but not enough to do it's own job, much less what private industry can do better anyway! Reply

I reckon I got to agree that private industry is the answer. The days of government funded space research need to come to a sudden and inglorius end. LOL

I want to go but I am not married, well, perhaps in 3-4 years, I will be. I really wanted to go and colonize on mars though and not just make a trip around it and back to earth. Oh well, maybe I might wait a while longer.

Good news for SpaceX is right but NASA is just another government agency, not a company. It is time for NASA to fold up its chair and take it to the Space Museum and then they can sit there with the rest of the relics. LOL

After all is said and done, the main thing is for the SpaceX ship to make it to the ISS and return. I do wish them the best and hopefully we will see space travel advance safely as possible in the next decade. Reply
