Это будет шаг в историю.

С того, что за очередной сдвиг пилотируемого Драгона НАСА взгреет Маска

Тут скорее наоборот. По мере того как SpaceX и Боинг реализуют требования НАСА оно постоянно выдвигает новые.

Вопрос, зачем?

Да это обычное и пока не сдали заказчику проще модернизировать под хотелки которые вылезли особенно в сложных проектах. Наверно основное деньги, безопастность, простота в использовании.

Я думаю НАСА специально тормизит ибо боится, что эти корабли перейдут дорогу Ориону и оставят насу с носом

думаете что, Орион и Дракон это одна и та же категория?

Шутка: а вот не надо было Маску заявлять о полете Дракона с туристами к Луне

В общем то, если подумать, некоторое пересечение для Луны есть:

Orion/SLS и Dragon/FH

A flight-proven #Falcon9 rocket is counting down to liftoff from Cape Canaveral's SLC-40 at 15:36 UTC with the #Dragon SpX-13 cargo spacecraft headed to the International Space Station with 2,205 Kilograms of hardware and supplies. http://bit.ly/2B4fQUp

ISS Updates‏ @ISS101 30 мин. назад

SLC-40 received a new TEL that can support a rapid kickback at liftoff to move hardware out of the engine plume. Other upgrades include improved data systems, new hold-down clamps for #Falcon9, and additional protection to reduce hardware damage and permit faster turnarounds.

Good morning fr om the Kennedy Space Center. We're reporting from a few miles away from Cape Canaveral's Complex 40 launch pad, wh ere a Falcon 9 rocket is standing vertical awaiting liftoff on a space station resupply flight at 10:36 a.m. EST (1536 GMT).

The Falcon 9 is flying with a previously-flown first stage booster, on the first flight in which NASA has put cargo on a recycled rocket.

The first stage is expected to return to touch down at Landing Zone 1 less than eight minutes after liftoff.

Here's a view of the Falcon 9 rocket at pad 40 a few minutes ago.

Final fueling poll coming up. Air hazard area for LZ-1 is clear. SLC-40 air hazard area is being cleared. Blast Danger Area for SLC-40 is CLEAR for fueling. #SpaceX #Falcon9 #Dragon #NASA

The launch loop is quiet -- a good indication that fueling picked up as expected at T-70mins. #SpaceX #Falcon9 #Dragon #NASA

Timeline for SpaceX's next station cargo launch
December 14, 2017 Stephen Clark

SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket will go from Cape Canaveral to low Earth orbit in 10 minutes Friday with a Dragon capsule heading for the International Space Station carrying more than 4,800 pounds of supplies and experiments.

Спойлер

Liftoff is set for 1536 GMT (10:36 a.m. EST) Friday from Cape Canaveral's Complex 40 launch pad.

It will be the 45th flight of a Falcon 9 rocket, and SpaceX's 17th launch of the year. Working under contract to NASA, Friday's launch will be the 13th of least 26 SpaceX resupply missions to depart for the space station.

The illustrated timeline below outlines the launch sequence for the Falcon 9 flight with the Dragon spacecraft. It does not include times for the experimental descent and landing attempt of the first stage booster at Landing Zone 1, a former Atlas missile launch facility about 6 miles (9 kilometers) south of pad 40.

Three ignitions of the first stage engines after separation will steer the booster back toward Florida's Space Coast from the northeast. Here are key times for the landing maneuvers:
 

[/li]
• T+plus 2 minutes, 38 seconds: First stage boost-back burn begins
• T+plus 6 minutes, 7 seconds: First stage entry burn begins
• T+plus 7 minutes, 46 seconds: First stage landing
  

Touchdown at Landing Zone 1 should occur during a landing burn with only the first stage's center Merlin 1D engine firing.

T-0:00:00: Liftoff


After the rocket's nine Merlin engines pass an automated health check, hold-down clamps will release the Falcon 9 booster for liftoff from pad 40.

T+0:01:10: Mach 1

 
The Falcon 9 rocket reaches Mach 1, the speed of sound.

T+0:01:18: Max Q

 
The Falcon 9 rocket reaches Max Q, the point of maximum aerodynamic pressure.
 
T+0:02:21: MECO

 
The Falcon 9's nine Merlin 1D engines shut down.

T+0:02:25: Stage 1 Separation

 
The Falcon 9's first stage separates from the second stage moments after MECO.

T+0:02:33: Second Stage Ignition

 
The second stage Merlin 1D vacuum engine ignites for an approximately 7-minute burn to put the Dragon spacecraft into orbit.

T+0:09:00: SECO

 
The second stage of the Falcon 9 rocket shuts down after reaching a target orbit with a low point of approximately 124 miles (200 kilometers), a high point of approximately 223 miles (360 kilometers) and an inclination of 51.6 degrees. The second stage will reignite for a de-orbit burn soon after deploying the Dragon spacecraft, aiming for a destructive re-entry over the Southern Ocean south of Australia.

T+0:10:00: Dragon Separation

 
The Dragon spacecraft separates from the Falcon 9 rocket's second stage.

T+0:11:00: Solar Arrays Deployed

 
The Dragon spacecraft's two solar array wings extend one-at-a-time to a span of 54 feet (16.5 meters).

Under an hour away from launch now. Things are progressing as scheduled. The next major event is the start of LOX load at T-35mins, or 10:01a EST. #SpaceX #Falcon9 #Dragon #NASA
