Запуски, коротко

...
Данное обстоятельство позволит цехам механического производства больше работать на комплектацию «Ангары» и «Рокота».
– надо понимать, объемы по «рокоту» не уменьшаются.
– Год по «Рокоту» мы завершили не ахти как, поэтому надо приложить все усилия, чтобы в 2016-м сделать план. Объемы достаточно серьезные. Предстоит снарядить несколько машин, а две – передать на РКЗ неснаряженными, в имеющемся состоянии. Работы много, мы освободили 4-й цех от ангарских блоков, чтобы он сосредоточил все внимание на «Рокоте».

Falcon 9/SES-9: Unofficial - but looking at NET (No Earlier Than) Saturday. No official note, so wait for SpaceX to make a decision.

 

20:39 Launch no earlier than Sunday
SES and Air Force sources say the Falcon 9 launch has been rescheduled for no earlier than Sunday.

The mission is on the Air Force's range schedule for Sunday, at the earliest, with a launch window extending from 6:47-8:20 p.m. EST (2347-0120 GMT).

SES officials say the flight could be delayed further until next week, and SpaceX has not confirmed a target launch date.

There is a better than 95 percent chance of favorable weather for Sunday's launch window, with partly cloudy skies, southeast winds of 5 to 10 mph, and a temperature of 64 degrees Fahrenheit. The only slight concern is with cumulus clouds.

"On launch day, the winds will be easterly bringing in low level cloudiness to the spaceport, but very little risk of a weather violation," the 45th Weather Squadron wrote in the official launch forecast.

For Monday, more ideal weather is in the forecast, with a 90 percent chance of acceptable conditions.

Ignition sequence aborted in final seconds of countdown; update pending from launch team after data review

 

SpaceX did not set a new date for the launch of the SES 9 communications satellite, but the U.S. Air Force’s 45th Space Wing — owner of the Cape Canaveral launch range — indicated the flight would not take off until at least Tuesday.

“The range will begin evaluating new launch dates from the customer no earlier than 48 hours” from Sunday, the Air Force said in a statement.

SpaceX’s launch team aimed to have the 229-foot-tall rocket ready for takeoff at 6:47 p.m. EST (2347 GMT), but Air Force range safety officials ordered a hold in the countdown less than two minutes before liftoff.

A boat strayed into restricted waters downrange from Cape Canaveral, and a military helicopter scrambled to chase the vessel out of the keep-out zone.

Engineers set up for another try at launching at 7:21 p.m. EST, and the countdown appeared to go smoothly, with the Falcon 9’s propellant tanks pressurizing and its nine Merlin 1D first stage engines firing up seconds before launch.

But the engines went quiet with a flash of green-orange light a moment after ignition, and SpaceX’s launch director officially called off Sunday’s launch attempt a few minutes later.

Elon Musk, SpaceX’s founder and chief executive, posted an update on Twitter shortly after the last-second abort.

“Launch aborted on low thrust alarm,” Musk tweeted. “Rising oxygen temps due to hold for boat and helium bubble triggered alarm.”
