Progress slow at SpaceX's planned South Texas spaceport

Posted November 21st, 2017

Bob Sechler

BOCA CHICA -- More than three years ago, SpaceX founder Elon Musk gathered with state leaders at this remote South Texas beach to trumpet it as the future location of the world's first commercial spaceport.

But so far, the only liftoffs fr om the shifting dunes are being achieved by seagulls and pelicans.

SpaceX — the Hawthorne, Calif., company started by the Musk with the aim of reducing the cost of space travel and one day facilitating the colonization of Mars — still counts the Boca Chica site in its plans. The company installed two large tracking antennas at the location this year, perhaps the most tangible indication yet of its intended purpose as a launch point for commercial satellites and, eventually, exploration of the solar system.

But progress on the Boca Chica facility — in which Musk vowed SpaceX would invest $100 million and initially predicted could be sending up rockets by late 2016 — has been slower than either SpaceX or state officials envisioned when it was announced in 2014.

Спойлер

The state has pledged a total of $15.3 million in incentives to the project, although SpaceX has returned a small portion of the state money it has received so far because it hasn't met early job-creation goals.

The slower rate of progress is partly the result of difficulties building on the beach after bedrock turned out to be deeper than expected and the water table turned out to be higher than expected. That prompted SpaceX to bring in hundreds of thousands of cubic yards of new soil to stabilize the site to support future structures. Other slowdowns have been caused by the company's focus on more pressing issues after one of its rockets exploded in 2015 shortly after liftoff from a leased launch pad at Florida's Cape Canaveral Air Force Station and another exploded on the pad in 2016, temporarily grounding some of SpaceX's commercial operations both times.

Most recently, SpaceX has said the first blast-off from Boca Chica could take place by the end of 2018. Spokesman James Gleeson reiterated that goal in a recent interview — although he added a caveat.

"SpaceX has continued to make progress on building the first-ever commercial spaceport in South Texas while also overcoming a number of challenges in the last few years," Gleeson said. "We continue to target late 2018 but we're reviewing our progress in South Texas and SpaceX will turn the launch complex online as soon as it's ready."

Boca Chica is in Cameron County, about 20 miles east of Brownsville at the southernmost tip of Texas, wh ere Texas Highway 4 dead-ends into the Gulf of Mexico. A small housing development, called Boca Chica Village, is nearby.

According to state documents obtained by the American-Statesman through an open-records request, the deadline for the Boca Chica spaceport to become operational or potentially lose more of the state incentive money pledged to it is less than a year away — on Sept. 30, 2018. The agreement also requires that 120 people be employed by the facility by the end of this year, 180 by the end of 2018 and 300 by the end of 2024.

Only a handful of people were working at the location during a recent visit by the American-Statesman, however, and there was little to distinguish it amid the windswept landscape as the future site of a cutting-edge launching point for space exploration.

Aside from the two tracking antennas brought in this year — which aren't yet operational — the most notable structure was a large platform of compacted soil, set off by fencing and a "SpaceX Launch Site" sign. Across the highway, the metal framework of what appeared to be a storage building was being erected around some heavy equipment.

'Par for the course'

The spaceport has been viewed by state and local Cameron County leaders as the linchpin to establishing South Texas as a hub for an emerging private U.S. space industry in an era of NASA budget cuts, and former Gov. Rick Perry was on hand for the ground-breaking ceremony in September 2014. At the time, the Brownsville Economic Development Corp. estimated SpaceX would create 500 jobs over 10 years with an annual payroll of more than $51 million.

Musk — a billionaire serial entrepreneur who also started electric-car maker Tesla and is known for bold statements and futuristic pronouncements — said during the groundbreaking that rockets launched from Boca Chica would carry commercial satellites at first but eventually could be critical to establishing a human presence on Mars. SpaceX's formal name is Space Exploration Technologies Corp.

"It could very well be that the first person that departs for another planet will depart from this location," Musk said at the time.

The rate of progress at Boca Chica since then isn't necessarily a surprise to some SpaceX observers, however, because both the company and Musk have reputations in the aerospace industry for issuing ambitious timetables that often are revised.

"Being behind schedule is kind of par for the course for SpaceX," said Bill Ostrove, primary space analyst for Forecast International. "They lay out very aggressive plans in terms of time schedules that are very rarely if ever met. There's kind of an expectation that anytime SpaceX gives you a date, you always have to assume that there is going to be a few years of delay."

Still, Musk does have a track record of eventually accomplishing many of the goals he sets — such as when SpaceX made history this year by relaunching into orbit and then successfully landing a booster rocket that it had flown before. The feat marked a milestone because the company views reusable rockets as the key to lowering the cost of space flight.

"I wouldn't doubt (Musk) in the end," Ostrove said, although he said he hadn't heard anything specifically about SpaceX's latest Boca Chica plans.

Texas beat out Florida, Georgia and Puerto Rico to win the future spaceport. The state pledged $2.3 million from the jobs-focused Texas Enterprise Fund and $13 million from another state incentive fund called the Spaceport Trust Fund, in addition to millions more in various tax incentives committed by local governments nearby the proposed launch site. SpaceX received its first payment from the state's spaceport fund — routed through the Cameron County Spaceport Development Corp. — this year, totaling $2.6 million and intended to help pay for infrastructure, such as the tracking antennas.

To date, SpaceX has paid back about $81,000 of the $400,000 in incentives money it initially received from the Texas Enterprise Fund because it didn't meet hiring goals for either 2015 or 2016. Under the incentives agreement with the state, the company was supposed to have created 60 full-time jobs related to the site by the end of last year, but it had created only 10, according to documents obtained by the American-Statesman.

Support for the project continues to be solid among state leaders and local Cameron County officials, however.

"The governor's office remains confident Brownsville will be home to the launch of a new SpaceX venture," said Ciara Matthews, a spokeswoman for Gov. Greg Abbott. "SpaceX has continually maintained a partnership of transparency with the state of Texas, and the governor's office continues to work with the company to ensure a successful project and full compliance with their (Texas Enterprise Fund) agreement."

Cameron County Judge Eddie Treviño, Jr. said he doesn't consider the spaceport behind schedule because his understanding of SpaceX's plans since he took office in November last year has been that the first launch wouldn't take place until late 2018.

But Treviño also said he wasn't aware that SpaceX had fallen short of its hiring targets, noting that Cameron County isn't charged with monitoring job creation at the site since the company's job-related incentives come from the state. Cameron County has granted a $1.8 million, 10-year property-tax abatement to SpaceX, he said.

"Obviously, (the hiring shortfall) is a slowdown and a little bit of a delay, but I haven't heard anything (else) that would indicate the project is in a slowdown or is a project that is not going to come to fruition," Treviño said. "We are being told (by SpaceX) that the plan and the project is still moving forward."

He said he's confident "we are going to see launches taking place from Cameron County" eventually.

"It's really exciting," Treviño said. "Obviously, we would love to see more tangible examples of the progress, but I'm sure we will."

According to SpaceX, he and others won't have to wait much longer for an increase in activity at the future spaceport. The recently installed antennas at Boca Chica are expected to be operational next year — although they'll initially track flights blasting off from elsewh ere — and the company also indicated development of the overall launch complex should pick up.

"Even as our teams worked to modernize and repair our launch complexes in Florida so that we could reliably return to flight for our customers, SpaceX invested $14 million into the South Texas project," said Gleeson, the company's spokesman.

"Now, with our launch construction projects in Florida wrapping up by early 2018, SpaceX will be able to turn more attention to our work in South Texas," he said.

New and improved Florida pad ready to resume Falcon 9 launches
by Jeff Foust — December 8, 2017

WASHINGTON — More than a year after suffering significant damage in a Falcon 9 explosion, a Florida launch pad is ready to return to service, incorporating improvements that will allow a higher flight rate.

The first launch fr om Space Launch Complex (SLC) 40 at Cape Canaveral, Florida, since a September 2016 pad explosion is scheduled for Dec. 12, when a SpaceX Falcon 9 launches a Dragon cargo spacecraft to the International Space Station. The rocket's first stage performed a successful static fire test there Dec. 6, the first major activity at the pad since the accident.

Спойлер

SpaceX spent about $50 million rebuilding the launch pad after the accident, in the process incorporating improvements to the pad based on lessons learned fr om launches there and at two other launch pads in Florida in California that will support "many years" of Falcon 9 launches, a company official said.

"We really looked at this as an opportunity to not only rebuild the pad, but to make it better," said John Muratore, director of SLC-40 at SpaceX, in a call with reporters Dec. 8.

That work, he said, included taking steps to make hardware on the pad more robust and thus less likely to suffer damage during a launch. Much of the support equipment that was above ground and exposed to launches has been moved below ground, protected by concrete and steel and thus less likely to be damaged in a launch or even in the event of an explosion.

"That's critical to our rapid flight strategy," he said. "If you don't take damage on the pad then you can fly more often." It should be possible, he said, to turn the pad around between launches in a week or less.

Among the changes to the pad is a "really augmented" water system to protect the pad from damage to the launch, and improvements to the flame trench to lim it erosion of the concrete there. Those particular changes, he said, can allow for much longer static-fire tests there, which would enable the company to do things like testing a previously-flown first stage after replacing one of its engines.

Muratore said another change at SLC-40 was making the pad interfaces common with those at neighboring Launch Complex 39A at the Kennedy Space Center, as well as SLC-4E at Vandenberg Air Force Base in California. "That is a really a big advantage for us since we can move people around as we hit normal surges of lots of activity, or gaps in activity," he said.

SLC-40 was built in the 1960s for launches of the Titan 3 and 4 rockets, then transferred to SpaceX, which started launching Falcon 9 rockets from the pad in 2010. As the rocket's flight rate increased, there was little opportunity to do upgrades to the pad prior to the accident last year.

"We sort of put the equipment wherever we could fit it on the pad," Muratore said. "The idea of digging up all the concrete and all the steel, that was something we couldn't do and continue to the make the manifest. In this tragedy, we had an opportunity to rebuild."

Rebuilding SLC-40 took longer than originally anticipated. SpaceX executives, including Chief Executive Elon Musk and President Gwynne Shotwell, previously said they expected SLC-40 to be ready to resume launches in the spring or summer of 2017.

Muratore said work didn't start until February because the pad was on "lockdown" after the September accident until late November or early December 2016, after which some environmental remediation work was required before the company could start rebuilding.

"In any large construction project like this, whether you're doing an upgrade to your house or building a launch pad, it's really hard to predict from the start what's going to happen," he said. One issue he said SpaceX encountered was that the 50-year-old documentation from the pad's original construction didn't reflect wh ere plumbing and wiring was actually located.

"It's sort of a combination of things we discovered along the way that slowed us down, combined with, as we got into it, opportunities to really improve the pad," he said.

SpaceX could take its time to rebuild SLC-40 because LC-39A, which started hosting Falcon 9 launches in February, could take over the workload of Florida launches. That allowed the company to incorporate all the changes it wanted. "We could have gotten the pad back in operation sooner," Muratore said, "but we wouldn't have had the pad we wanted to keep for the next 10 to 20 years."

With SLC-40 in service, the company will have flexibility to schedule launches both there and at LC-39A. Some missions, such as Falcon Heavy launches and those of the Dragon v2 spacecraft, will only take place at 39A. SLC-40 will only host "single-stick" Falcon 9 missions, with no plans to add support for the Falcon Heavy.

"[Pad] 40 will be set to just run single-stick missions as fast as we can," he said.

Cape Canaveral's SLC-40 Re-Opens with Successful Falcon 9 Static Fire Test
December 7, 2017

Fifteen months after a Falcon 9 rocket went up in flames atop Cape Canaveral's Space Launch Complex 40, the re-built facility supported its first Static Fire Test of a Falcon 9 rocket this week in preparation for SpaceX's next resupply mission to the International Space Station set for liftoff as early as Tuesday. Wednesday's Static Fire Test involved the flight-proven Falcon 9 booster for the SpX-13 mission firing up for seven seconds to deliver performance data feeding into the final reviews ahead of a planned December 12 liftoff.

Space Launch Complex 40, a former Titan launch pad handed over to SpaceX in 2007, was taken out of service on September 1st 2016 when a Falcon 9 rocket counting down to a routine Static Fire Test suffered a destructive failure on its second stage that caused the entire vehicle to erupt in flames and collapse to the pad floor in a wall of fire. The accident claimed the loss of the Falcon 9 rocket and the $195 million AMOS-6 communications satellite that had been placed atop Falcon 9 for the static test – a procedure that has since been changed by the California-based launch operator. In addition to the loss of vehicle, the mishap caused severe damage to Pad 40's ground facilities.

Initial work at the launch pad in the days after the accident were focused on collecting debris related to Falcon 9 to aid the investigation into what happened while initial damage surveys were also performed on the grounds of SLC-40. Severe damage was noted to the Transporter-Erector-Launcher device that had faced the brunt of the conflagration, the launch mount onto which the 500-metric-ton vehicle collapsed, cross-country propellant and pressurant feed lines, the pad's electrical and data infrastructure and the flame trench in which the Kerosene-fueled fire burned for several hours after the event. The Horizontal Integration Facility and the pad's lightning towers did not receive any significant damage and the pad's foundation was also found in good condition.

While engineering teams were busy piecing together an extremely complex failure scenario, teams on site at Florida's Space Coast were facing a twofold challenge: SpaceX opted to prioritize the activation of Launch Complex 39A at the Kennedy Space Center and move Falcon 9 operations there while SLC-40 was re-built. This decision paid off as SpaceX was able to return to East Coast launch operations in February 2017 and has since managed to catch up with its manifest in what is the company's busiest year to date with a total of 16 successful launches completed so far, 12 of which originated fr om LC-39A.

The effort to re-build Space Launch Complex 40 started in earnest in February after LC-39A had supported its first Static Fire Campaign for the Dragon SpX-10 mission.

In addition to returning the pad to service, the re-build effort was also used by SpaceX to introduce a number of upgrades to Pad 40 which had been the company's oldest Falcon 9 launch facility and lacked a number of elements the newer pads at Vandenberg and Kennedy had. These elements include a new and improved hold-down system, a brand-new Transporter-Erector-Launcher resembling a smaller version of the LC-39A TEL with rapid kickback ability, and revamped Ground Support Equipment including upgrades to the electrical and data infrastructure at the site.

Lessons learned from LC-39A were implemented in numerous ways including reinforcements to protection elements to allow for a more rapid turnaround between missions. This will be aided by the rapid kickback of the TEL which moves propellant umbilicals, connection points and commodity lines out of the plume of the ascending rocket to reduce wear and tear on the equipment. Having two East Coast launch pads with rapid turnaround capabilities will be paramount for SpaceX's future goals of further stepping up its launch rate with over 30 missions on the manifest for 2018.

In all, re-building SLC-40 took around ten months and the site is now ready to re-start Falcon 9 launch operations – freeing up Launch Complex 39A for final modifications ahead of the inaugural Falcon Heavy mission before the pad will support a combination of Falcon Heavy launches plus Falcon 9 missions with crewed and Dragon cargo spacecraft.

Going first from the revamped SLC-40 launch pad is a 'flight-proven' Falcon 9 rocket carrying SpaceX's 13th operational Dragon mission into orbit to deliver 2,205 Kilograms of equipment and supplies to the International Space Station. SpX-13 is the second re-use mission of the Dragon spacecraft, employing the Dragon C108 spacecraft that flew for 33 days on the SpX-6 mission in 2015, and an additional re-use element will be the Falcon 9 first stage as this is the first ISS logistics mission to use a previously flown booster.

SpaceX conducted its first re-use mission in March after completing detailed inspections and component lifetime testing on returned Falcon 9 first stages. Another two re-flight missions have followed since and SpaceX provided NASA with extensive documentation for engineering reviews into using previously flown boosters for Commercial Resupply Services Missions. NASA determined that using first stages with one prior Low Earth Orbit mission will add no risk to the overall success of the CRS mission and provided SpaceX the green light to fly a refurbished booster on the SpX-13 mission.

Unlike previous first stages that were thoroughly cleaned after their first flights, Core #1035 is still sporting much of the soot from its first flight back in June when it dispatched the Dragon SpX-11 mission toward orbit. Only cleaning critical areas like weld seams that require post-flight inspection cut some of the turnaround time and cost.

The Static Fire Test for the SpX-13 mission was initially expected as early as Saturday, December 2nd – though the date had always been subject to change given the number of first-time milestones that needed to be achieved before getting to the firing including rollout and erection of the launch vehicle using a brand new TEL, verifying all fluid and electrical umbilicals fit properly and going through functional checks of the revamped Ground Support Equipment.

The Static Fire Test continued slipping on a day-to-day basis as SpaceX teams worked through the expected teething issues with the new pad systems, also causing the launch to slip from December 8 to the 12th to provide sufficient schedule margin. Having taken its vertical position atop SLC-40, Falcon 9 – still missing its payload – went through a final set of verifications on Tuesday before pressing into countdown operations on Wednesday. Some time was spent holding the countdown inside T-2 hours before pressing into the expedited propellant loading sequence to pump over 500 metric tons of sub-cooled Liquid Oxygen and chilled Kerosene fuel into the two-stage rocket.

The Static Fire Test acts as a final end-to-end test of the Falcon 9 launch vehicle and all ground systems involved in getting the vehicle off the pad in order to avoid any surprises on launch day. Especially for a re-built or new pad, the test provides an extremely valuable opportunity to evaluate the propellant handling system to ensure Falcon's expedited tanking operation can be supported.

Falcon 9 came to life at 3p.m. local time on Wednesday (20 UTC) – three hours into a 12-hour test window, firing its nine Merlin 1D first stage engines for seven seconds – the typical duration for flight-proven boosters that are fired four seconds longer than their factory-new colleagues. Per standard procedure, SpaceX engineering went through a quick-look review to confirm the firing met its target duration and all required performance parameters were captured.

Falcon 9 was then to be de-tanked and return to the Horizontal Integration Facility wh ere it will meet the Dragon spacecraft ahead of rollout the day before launch to facilitate the late cargo loading operation that will involve powered payloads like laboratory freezers, forty mice participating in the seventh Rodent Research Mission to the ISS and other time-critical payloads packed into double cold bags.

After SpX-13, SpaceX will close out its busiest launch year to date with the Iridium-4 mission to loft the next group of ten Iridium-NEXT communications satellites, also using a flight-proven first stage. SpaceX is expected to open 2018 with the secretive Zuma mission that is being shifted from LC-39A to SLC-40 after the flight had to be placed on hold due to reviews into a potential payload fairing issue, slipping from a mid-November launch target.

– Юрий Семёнович, позвольте задать три коротких вопроса. Канадец Илон Маск сегодня известен во всём мире тем, что сделал ракету со спасаемой первой ступенью. Глава «Роскосмоса» Комаров, выступая недавно, сказал, что нам нужно догнать Маска и идти по этому же пути. С чего он так заявляет? Чем Комарова привлекают детские игрушки Маска? Зачем это нужно?
– Во-первых, я не Комаров. Я могу высказать только своё мнение.
Я считаю, что это бред. Потому что создание подобного рода устройств посадки влечёт за собой существенное усложнение конструкции, а за этим тянется снижение надёжности. Просто так это не даётся. Это эквивалентная полезная нагрузка. А с точки зрения экономического эффекта... он сопряжён с огромным количеством неопределённостей, рисков. И риски эти уже один раз проявились, когда ступень приземлилась, а при дефектации были обнаружены трещины. То есть этот вопрос настолько сомнительный, что браться за него нам, на мой взгляд, не царское дело.
