Our OG2 Mission 1 launch is now targeted for June 11 with a back-up date of June 12. We will be sending the satellite launch teams from both ORBCOMM and Sierra Nevada Corporation to the Cape the first week of June for fairing encapsulation followed by a static fire test to be conducted two to three days prior to launch.

SpaceX's Falcon 9 v1.1 launch of six ORBCOMM OG-2 satellites has seen its launch date tweaked to No Earlier Than (NET) launch date to June 15, pending its Static Fire test on Thursday. The slight delay is understood to be related to a re-test requirement on the satellites.

Spaceflight Now | Falcon Launch Report | Mission Status Center

TUESDAY, JUNE 10, 2014
The launch of SpaceX's next Falcon 9 rocket has been delayed from Thursday to Sunday to accommodate additional work on one of the launcher's six Orbcomm data relay satellites, officials said Tuesday.

Liftoff from Cape Canaveral's Complex 40 launch pad is targeted for 8 p.m. EDT Sunday (0000 GMT Monday) at the opening of a 53-minute launch window. Monday is available as a backup launch date, according to Orbcomm.

The six satellites mounted on the Falcon 9 rocket are part of Orbcomm's second-generation, or OG2, satellite fleet designed to relay data and messages between ships, oil and gas platforms, trucks and other corporate assets.

"During final integration on one of the OG2 spacecraft, we encountered a minor issue resulting in a few extra days of delay to perform precautionary steps to ensure there are no operational concerns with the satellite," Orbcomm posted in an online upd ate.

Orbcomm said the satellites, affixed to an adapter built by Moog Inc., will be encapsulated inside the Falcon 9's 5.2-meter diameter payload fairing Tuesday night.

The customary prelaunch static test firing of the Falcon 9's Merlin first stage engines is se t for Thursday afternoon, during which the nine-engine first stage will ignite for a few seconds at the end of a practice countdown.

The Orbcomm launch was delayed from May 10 after the SpaceX launch team encountered a helium leak in the launcher's first stage, resulting in several weeks of inspections and repairs.

[Space Alien]

Static Fire moved to Friday due to weather (likely rollout weather).

SpaceX launch delayed; no new date set


SpaceX's planned Sunday night launch of a Falcon 9 rocket and commercial satellites fr om Cape Canaveral has been delayed.

No new date is set for the launch, which had Monday available as a backup date on the Air Force's Eastern Range.

A brief pre-launch test-firing of Falcon 9 engines was still scheduled to take place this afternoon at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station's Launch Complex 40.

After Monday, the Range was scheduled to begin a planned maintenance period, and it was not immediately clear if that would lim it launch opportunities.

The launch for Orbcomm Inc. was postponed from May by a rocket issue. This week, a problem with one of the six Orbcomm satellites being prepared for launch pushed the target date from Thursday to Sunday.

The reason for the latest slip was not immediately available.

The launch is the first of two planned this year to deploy a new constellation of 17 small satellites in low Earth orbit for Orbcomm, a provider of machine-to-machine communications.

OG2 Mission 1 Update: June 13, 2014
http://www.orbcomm.com/networks/og2-launch

ORBCOMM's 6 OG2 satellites were re-encapsulated on Wednesday, June 11, and we are proceeding toward a static test fire of the rocket on Friday, June 13.

All six satellites have completed additional testing and are functioning as expected. In an effort to be as cautious as possible, it was decided to perform further analysis to verify that the issue observed on one satellite during final integration has been fully addressed. The additional time to complete this analysis required us to postpone the OG2 Mission 1 Launch. We are working with SpaceX to identify the next available launch opportunity, and we will update the schedule shortly.

The need for additional analysis of an issue with one of the six Orbcomm communications satellites set for liftoff on the next SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket has delayed the booster's launch from Cape Canaveral past Sunday, officials said Friday.
....
"In an effort to be as cautious as possible, it was decided to perform further analysis to verify that the issue observed on one satellite during final integration has been fully addressed," Orbomm wrote in an update. "The additional time to complete this analysis required us to postpone the OG2 Mission 1 Launch. We are working with SpaceX to identify the next available launch opportunity, and we will update the schedule shortly."

The U.S. Air Force's Eastern Range is scheduled to undergo two weeks of maintenance beginning next week. It was unclear Friday whether the Air Force could accommodate SpaceX's launch during that time.

Sources said SpaceX and Orbcomm were considering a launch opportunity as soon as next Friday, June 20.

The Air Force's network of communications and tracking assets are mandatory for rocket launches from Cape Canaveral.

SpaceX's next Falcon 9 launch is set for Friday at 6:08p EDT (2208 GMT) from Cape Canaveral with payload for Orbcomm. http://spaceflightnow.com/falcon9/010/st

MONDAY, JUNE 16, 2014
Liftoff of SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket with six data relay satellites for Orbcomm is now set for Friday at 6:08 p.m. EDT (2208 GMT).

The satellites are encapsulated inside the Falcon 9's payload fairing and in a "ready-to-launch" condition, according to Orbcomm.

SpaceX completed a customary static engine firing on Cape Canaveral's Complex 41 launch pad Friday, achieving a major prelaunch milestone ahead of launch.
