AsiaSat 8 Ku/Ka-bnd sat shipped to Fla for planned July SpaceX Falcon 9 launch. Date presumes successful Sunday SpaceX launch of Orbcomm.
SSL-built Asiasat 8 delivered to Cape Canaveral launch base
Space Systems/Loral (SSL), and Asia Satellite Telecommunications Co. Ltd. (AsiaSat), Asia's leading satellite operator, today announced that AsiaSat 8 has arrived at the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida, where it will be launched aboard a Falcon 9 launch vehicle by SpaceX. The satellite is currently being prepared for a July launch which will mark the first Falcon 9 launch for both AsiaSat and SSL.
"I would like to thank AsiaSat for its long term trust and confidence in SSL," said John Celli, President of SSL. "We are pleased that AsiaSat 8 has arrived safely at the launch base and now, after many years of working together, both AsiaSat and SSL eagerly anticipate our first SpaceX launch."
AsiaSat 8, with Ku and Ka-band payloads, is designed to provide direct-to-home (DTH) television service, data broadcasting, and telecommunications services in Asia and the Middle East. When launched, AsiaSat 8 will be co-located with AsiaSat 7. The additional capacity from AsiaSat 8 will help meet growing market demand and ensure the delivery of exceptionally high power and quality service to its customers.
"SSL is an important contributor to our fleet expansion," said William Wade, President and Chief Executive Officer of AsiaSat. "We are pleased that AsiaSat 8 has arrived in Cape Canaveral safely and look forward to the launch to bring new and quality capacity to multiple markets in Asia and the Middle East."
In addition to a Ka-band payload, AsiaSat 8 will have four Ku-band beams serving China, India, the Middle East and South East Asia and the satellite is equipped with inter-beam switching to meet specific customer requirements.
AsiaSat 8 is based on the highly reliable SSL 1300 platform, which provides the flexibility to support a broad range of applications and technology advances. It is the third satellite that SSL has built for AsiaSat and there are currently two additional satellites, AsiaSat 6 and AsiaSat 9 in the SSL backlog.

Ответ очевиден. Нет, конечно. Возникает вопрос по прочности. При заданной исходной массе конструкций, просто увеличив диаметр и уменьшив высоту, можно было бы получить бОльший объем баков. Конечно, если учесть прочие ограничения - то не очень большой выигрыш, но тем не менее. Либо при заданном исходном объеме баков можно было бы получить выигрыш по массе конструкций.
Для каждой ракеты можно посчитать оптимальный диаметр. Правда, придется учесть возможность апгрейда ракеты. В случае развития РН Falcon от v1.0 к v1.1 они пошли по самому простому, дешевому, и наверно, единственно возможному для них пути. Как только получили Merlin 1D - увеличили высоту макаронины.

Today's flight is fr om Space Launch Complex 40, which was formerly used by the Air Force's Titan 4 rocket until its last flight from Florida in April 2005. SpaceX took over the pad and launched the first Falcon 9 rocket from there on June 4, 2010.
The second Falcon 9 launch on Dec. 8, 2010, sent SpaceX's first Dragon capsule into space on a two-orbit test flight for SpaceX's commercial cargo services to the space station. The December 2010 flight did not go to the space station, but it demonstrated Dragon's avionics and heat shield, culminating with splashdown in the Pacific Ocean.
SpaceX's next launch on May 22, 2012, launched the Dragon spacecraft on a NASA-sponsored test flight to the International Space Station. The 9-day Dragon mission delivered cargo to the space station and returned hardware from orbit with a splashdown in the Pacific Ocean on May 31.
On Oct. 7, 2012, SpaceX launched its fourth Falcon 9 rocket on the first operational Dragon resupply flight to the space station. The three-week mission delivered 882 pounds of cargo to the complex and returned to Earth on Oct. 28 with 1,673 pounds of equipment.
A Falcon 9 launch on March 1, 2013, put up another automated Dragon cargo craft en route to the space station with 1,869 pounds of supplies. It arrived at the outpost March 3 and stayed for 23 days before coming back to Earth with 2,668 pounds of return cargo.
The Falcon 9's first launch from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California occurred Sept. 29, 2013, and deployed Canada's Cassiope space weather research and communications demonstration satellite into polar orbit. The launch also marked the first flight of SpaceX's upgraded Falcon 9 v1.1 vehicle, which includes more powerful first stage engines, stretched fuel tanks and other changes.
SpaceX's first launch into geostationary transfer orbit occurred Dec. 3, 2013, with the SES 8 Ku-band and Ka-band direct-to-home broadcasting and network services to cover the Asia-Pacific region for SES of Luxembourg.
The Falcon 9 rocket launched again Jan. 6 with the Thaicom 6 telecom satellite to provide C-band and Ku-band communications services across Southeast Asia and Africa.
SpaceX's third operational cargo resupply flight to the space station lifted off April 18 on a Falcon 9 rocket, marking the first time the launcher flew with first stage landing legs in a bid to make the vehicle reusable. The Dragon spacecraft delivered supplies to the space station and returned to Earth a month later.
The Falcon 9's 10th flight July 14 placed six small washing machine-sized delay relay communications satellites into low Earth orbit for Orbcomm Inc.
0250 GMT (10:50 p.m. EDT on Mon.)
Kerosene and liquid oxygen are being pumped aboard the two-stage Falcon 9 rocket. Both stages burn the mix of liquid propellants to fuel 10 Merlin 1D engines.
SpaceX says the webcast of today's launch will begin at 1:05 a.m. EDT (0505 GMT), about 20 minutes prior to liftoff, and continue through the first cutoff of the second stage engine about 10 minutes into the mission.
We will have the live webcast on this page.

Technicians rolled the Falcon 9 rocket to the launch pad Sunday, using hydraulics to lift the 224-foot-tall booster on its launch mount at Cape Canaveral's Complex 40.
Workers then began plugging into electrical and propellant lines ahead of the start of the countdown this evening.
No problems are reported at this stage in the launch preparations. Fueling of the two-stage rocket with RP-1 fuel -- a highly-refined kerosene -- and liquid oxygen should begin shortly after 9:30 p.m. EDT (0130 GMT).
The rocket is one of the tallest in the world. The Falcon 9's first and second stages measure 12 feet in diameter, and the SpaceX-built payload fairing housing the Thaicom 6 communications satellite is 17 feet in diameter (5.2 meters) and 43 feet tall.

T-minus 30 minutes. Today's launch is heading for a geosynchronous transfer orbit with an apogee, or high point, of 35,786 kilometers (22,236 miles) and a perigee, or low point, of 185 kilometers (114 miles). The target inclination is 24.3 degrees.
Built by Space Systems/Loral of Palo Alto, Calif., the AsiaSat 8 satellite is destined for a slot 22,300 miles above the equator in geostationary orbit at 105.5 degrees east longitude, where its Ku-band and Ka-band payload will beam direct-to-home television broadcasts and other services to China, India, Southeast Asia, the Middle East and surrounding regions for 15 years.
Today's mission marks the third SpaceX Falcon 9 launch with a satellite heading for a geostationary transfer orbit after the Dec. 3 launch with the SES 8 communications satellite and the Jan. 6 liftoff of Thaicom 6. Such an orbit requires two burns of the Falcon 9's upper stage Merlin 1D engine, first to place the satellite into a low-altitude parking orbit, then to raise its apogee to geostationary altitude or higher.
AsiaSat of Hong Kong has another satellite at Cape Canaveral -- AsiaSat 6 -- being prepared for launch on another Falcon 9 rocket before the end of August.
0425 GMT (12:25 a.m. EDT)
T-minus 60 minutes. Skies are partly cloudy over Cape Canaveral as the countdown continues for liftoff at 1:25 a.m. EDT (0525 GMT) at the opening of a 2-hour, 46-minute launch window.
Weather balloons are being launched throughout the countdown to monitor winds aloft.

The countdown is being recycled to T-minus 13 minutes while SpaceX engineers study the problem that triggered the last-minute abort. The launch pad's strongback structure is being raised back into position next to the Falcon 9 rocket.
The launch window this morning extends to 4:11 a.m. EDT (0811 GMT) if SpaceX can resolve whatever issue caused the hold in the countdown.
0524 GMT (1:24 a.m. EDT)
ABORT. The countdown was aborted less than a minute from liftoff.
0524 GMT (1:24 a.m. EDT)
T-minus 60 seconds. In the final minute of the countdown, the flight computer will command checks of the first stage Merlin engine steering system and the Falcon 9 propellant tanks will be pressurized for flight. Thousands of gallons of water from the ground facility's Niagara system will also be dumped onto the launch pad deck to suppress the sound and acoustics of liftoff.
The command to start the ignition sequence for the first stage will be issued at T-minus 3 seconds, triggering the Merlin engines' ignitor moments before the powerplants actually ramp up to full power.
