Less than six weeks since its most recent cargo ship returned from the International Space Station (ISS), SpaceX—the Hawthorne, Calif.-based launch services operator, headed by entrepreneur Elon Musk—will deliver another Dragon into orbit on Sunday, 28 June. Liftoff of the CRS-7 mission, which represents the seventh dedicated cargo flight under SpaceX’s $1.6 billion Commercial Resupply Services contract with NASA, is presently scheduled to occur from the storied Space Launch Complex (SLC)-40 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Fla., no sooner than 10:21 a.m. EDT. As with previous ISS-bound Dragon missions, the “launch window” will be an instantaneous one and an on-time launch will produce a rendezvous and berthing at the space station’s Earth-facing (or “nadir”) Harmony node on Tuesday, 30 June. If SpaceX is unable to meet Sunday’s opening attempt, it carries Eastern Range clearance for a backup opportunity on Monday.

The U.S. Orbital Segment (USOS) of the International Space Station (ISS) looks more like a flat-bottomed boat tonight, following Wednesday’s successful unberthing and relocation of the Leonardo Permanent Multipurpose Module (PMM) from the Earth-facing (or “nadir”) port of the Unity node to the forward port of the Tranquility node. As detailed in a recent NASA animation, the multi-hour operation—executed by the space station’s 57.7-foot-long (17.6-meter) Canadarm2 robotic arm—was performed under the auspices of the Robotics Officer (ROBO) in the Mission Control Center (MCC) at the Johnson Space Center (JSC) in Houston, Texas, and supported by the incumbent Expedition 43 crew, and was complete by 9:08 a.m. EDT. It represents the first step in a complex effort to reconfigure the USOS with two docking ports for future Commercial Crew vehicles and two berthing locations for unpiloted visitors.

SpaceX has successfully delivered its latest Dragon cargo mission into low-Earth orbit, carrying about 4,390 pounds (1,990 kg) of provisions, payloads, tools, and scientific equipment to the incumbent Expedition 43 crew of the International Space Station (ISS). Liftoff of the Falcon 9 v1.1 booster, flying for the 12th time in less than 19 months, took place during an “instantaneous” window at 4:10:41 p.m. EDT Tuesday, 14 April FULL VIDEO: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4WXUlJYMhrA FULL IN-DEPTH REPORT - www.americaspace.com/?p=80087 #NASA #Dragon #SpaceX #Falcon #ISS #SpaceStation #ISS1Year #YearInSpace #SpX6 #Exp43 #NASAsocial #rocketgram #tbt
