Good news for SpaceX, Bad news for NASA! SpaceX to save Hubble…
SpaceX hurtles toward the 2023 deadline with fervor!
Falcon 9, the reigning favorite broomstick, remains at the forefront. But its younger sibling, Falcon Heavy, is poised to join the historic spectacle. This behemoth is slated to embark on the seventh mission of the U.S. Air Force X-37B space plane from Kennedy Space Center, Florida, this very week.
This marks the fifth Falcon Heavy launch of 2023, an imperative national security endeavor planned half a decade ago. In readiness, SpaceX conducted a static fire test just this past weekend.
However, just before this fiery display, a twist emerged. The U.S. Space Force declared a delay in the upcoming launch of its enigmatic X-37B spaceplane. The mission, USSF-52, initially set for Dec. 7, now pushed to Dec. 10. Launch Complex-39A constraints and shifting schedules are cited for this shift, as relayed in a statement from the Space Force.
Brig. Gen. Kristin Panzenhagen, from Space Launch Delta 45, emphasized collaboration with launch service providers, rallying the team for an impeccable mission in an email from the Space Systems Command (SSC).
But returning to the present, during the riveting 12-second static fire on December 3rd, the Falcon Heavy, the pinnacle of commercial rocketry, roared to life, its first stage’s Merlin 1D engines aflame, likely generating a colossal 2350 tons of thrust.
With this fiery test in the books, Falcon Heavy’s fourth launch looms, expected within the coming 5-10 days. But there’s more to come before its grand departure. A return to LC-39A’s hangar awaits, where the fairing will be fitted before another majestic return to the launch pad, a ritualistic pilgrimage of sorts.
As for the rescheduled USSF-52 liftoff on Dec. 10, it’s primed to take off from KSC’s LC-39A during an unspecified launch window. Further details will unfold “as the launch date approaches,“ per the SSC email. This marks the reusable space plane’s inaugural journey on a Falcon Heavy rocket, a significant shift for its clandestine mission. While the X-37B’s earlier voyages were on United Launch Alliance’s Atlas V rockets, this forthcoming flight is an extraordinary venture into uncharted territory, having only once soared on a Falcon 9.
Amidst its most recent mission, the X-37B voyaged through 908 days in orbit, gracefully returning to Earth’s embrace on Nov. 12, 2022. The touchdown was a nostalgic rendezvous, landing on the same runway at KSC previously graced by space shuttle landings.
Enter Falcon Heavy, a formidable assembly of three Falcon 9 boosters for the rocket’s initial stage. Its prowess in carrying weightier payloads to loftier orbits surpasses both Atlas V and Falcon 9. It’s poised to propel X-37B further into the celestial expanse than ever before. While the spacecraft’s operational capabilities remain cloaked in secrecy, the objectives for USSF-52 appear ambitious. The Space Force’s release hinted at X-37B venturing into “new orbital regimes.“
