Photos: 100th Liftoff from Kennedy's LC-39A & Falcon 9 Booster Landing

June 3, 2017

A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket lifted off from Launch Complex 39A, Kennedy Space Center at 21:07 UTC on June 3, 2017 on a ten-minute climb to orbit with the Dragon SpX-11 cargo spacecraft headed to the International Space Station for a high-profile cargo delivery, also marking the first time a Dragon vehicle is re-used. This marked the 100th liftoff from LC-39A, the former Saturn V and Shuttle launch pad.

The Falcon 9 first stage reversed course after dispatching the second stage, returning to Cape Canaveral for a landing in Landing Zone 1 seven minutes and 40 seconds after blastoff; Stage 2 executed a deorbit maneuver on its first lap around the Earth.

New NASA Experiments, Research Headed to International Space Station


The SpaceX Dragon cargo craft lifted off from Launch Complex 39A at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida at 5:07 p.m. June 3. About 6,000 pounds of research equipment, cargo and supplies are packed into the cargo craft that is now in Earth orbit and headed to the International Space Station.

Major experiments that will look into the human body and out into the galaxy are on their way to the International Space Station aboard a SpaceX Dragon spacecraft following its 5:07 p.m. EDT launch aboard a Falcon 9 rocket.

The Dragon lifted off from Launch Complex 39A at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. About 6,000 pounds of research equipment, cargo and supplies are packed into the cargo craft that is now in Earth orbit and headed to the station.

NASA Television and the agency's website will provide live coverage of the rendezvous and capture beginning at 8:30 a.m. Monday, June 5. NASA astronauts Jack Fischer and Peggy Whitson will use the space station's robotic arm to capture SpaceX's Dragon when it arrives at the station.

Research materials flying inside the Dragon's pressurized area include an experiment studying fruit flies to better understand the effects on the heart of prolonged exposure to microgravity. Because they're small, age rapidly, and have a well-known genetic make-up, they are good models for heart function studies. This experiment could significantly advance understanding of how spaceflight affects the cardiovascular system and could aid in the development of countermeasures to help astronauts.

The Systemic Therapy of NELL-1 for osteoporosis investigation tests a new drug that can rebuild bone and block further bone loss, improving crew health. When people and animals spend extended periods of time in space, they experience bone density loss, or osteoporosis. In-flight countermeasures, such as exercise, prevent it from getting worse, but there isn't a therapy on Earth or in space that can restore bone. The results from this ISS National Laboratory-sponsored investigation build on previous research also supported by the National Institutes for Health and could lead to new drugs for treating bone density loss in millions of people on Earth.

Three payloads inside Dragon's unpressurized area will demonstrate new solar panel technologies, study the physics of neutron stars, and host an array of Earth-viewing instruments.
This mission is SpaceX's eleventh cargo flight to the station under NASA's Commercial Resupply Services contract. Dragon's cargo will support dozens of the more than 250 science and research investigations during the station's Expeditions 52 and 53.

The Dragon spacecraft is scheduled to depart the space station in early July, returning with more than 3,400 pounds of science, hardware and crew supplies.

For more than 16 years, humans have lived and worked continuously aboard the International Space Station, advancing scientific knowledge and demonstrating new technologies, making research breakthroughs not possible on Earth that will enable long-duration human and robotic exploration into deep space. A global endeavor, more than 200 people from 18 countries have visited the unique microgravity laboratory that has hosted more than 1,900 research investigations from researchers in more than 95 countries.

First Dragon Reflight

On June 3, 2017, SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket successfully launched a Dragon spacecraft for the company's eleventh Commercial Resupply Services mission (CRS-11) to the International Space Station.

This mission marked the first reflight of a Dragon spacecraft, having previously flown during the fourth Commercial Resupply Services (CRS-4) mission back in September 2014.

 Скрытый текст:

This launch also marked the 100th launch from historic Launch Complex 39A (LC-39A) at NASA's Kennedy Space Center. Previous launches include 11 Apollo flights, the launch of the un-crewed Skylab in 1973, 82 shuttle flights, and five SpaceX launches.

Following stage separation, the first stage of Falcon 9 successfully landed at SpaceX's Landing Zone 1 (LZ-1) at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Florida.

Dragon is scheduled to arrive at the International Space Station on Monday, June 5 to be installed on the Earth-facing side of the Harmony module for its month-long stay. You can watch the archived mission webcast below, and find more information about the mission in our press kit. Additional photos are also available on our Flickr page.

SpaceX впервые вывела на орбиту ранее использованный космический корабль Dragon

Компания SpaceX Элона Маска впервые совершила успешный запуск и доставку на орбиту ранее использованного космического аппарата Dragon с продовольствием и научным оборудованием для МКС. С места старта велась прямая трансляция.

Запуск первой ракеты-носителя Falcon 9 с космическим «грузовиком» Dragon состоялся в космическом центре Кеннеди во Флориде после переноса первоначальной даты старта с 1 июня из-за погодных условий. Спустя 12 минут после старта Dragon успешно вышел на околоземную орбиту для стыковки с МКС и раскрыл солнечные панели, а первая ступень ракеты-носителя Falcon 9 уже в 11-й раз благополучно вернулась на землю для повторного использования.

Космический корабль Dragon уже отправляли в космос в 2014 году. Аппарат на протяжении месяца был пристыкован к МКС в рамках миссии CRS-4, после чего приводнился в Тихом океане. Специалисты SpaceX поменяли у корабля обшивку и тепловой щит, а затем он повторно отправился в космос в составе CRS-11.

В рамках своей нынешней миссии Dragon доставит 2708 килограммов полезного груза. В том числе научное оборудование NICER, предназначенное для поиска нейтронных звёзд, гибкие солнечные батареи ROSA, подопытных мышей и мух, а также инструменты для наблюдений за Землёй. Космический корабль должен пристыковаться к МКС в понедельник, 5 июня. Персонал станции «поймает» его роботизированной рукой.

Clouds prevented me from seeing @SpaceX #CRS11, but not from hearing it. It is alive and transmitting at 2216MHz as it flew over Europe.

Похоже изменили соотношение компонентов в ГГ не только для б/у движков , но и для новых. Выхлоп с турбин стал содержать еще больше сажи, заметно на видео при показе выхлопа движков первой ступени на высоте примерно 52 км.
