В США запланировали запуск секретного спутника на 19 января

НЬЮ-ЙОРК, 17 января. /ТАСС/. Американская компания United Launch Alliance (ULA) наметила на 19 января запуск тяжелой ракеты-носителя Delta IV Heavy с секретным спутником Национального управления военно-космической разведки (НУВКР) США.

"Старт Delta IV Heavy с NROL-71 запланирован на субботу, 19 января, с пускового комплекса номер шесть базы ВВС Ванденберг в Калифорнии", - уточнила компания на своем сайте. Время запуска - 11:05 по времени Западного побережья США (22:05 мск).

Отправку спутника в космос неоднократно переносили. В последний раз это произошло 21 декабря прошлого года.

Спойлер

Деятельность НУВКР, контролирующего разведывательные спутники США, строго засекречена. Официальной информации о предназначении спутника, который планируется запустить на орбиту, и о его стоимости нет. Название аппарата также не приводится. Официально миссия по выводу спутника на орбиту обозначена кодом NROL-71.

ULA была основана в 2006 году. Ее штаб-квартира расположена в городе Сентенниал (штат Колорадо). Компания является совместным предприятием американских авиационных корпораций Boeing и Lockheed Martin.

Jan. 18 -- LRR completed

The Launch Readiness Review at Vandenberg Air Force Base in California today culminated with officials giving a unanimous "go" for liftoff of the United Launch Alliance Delta IV Heavy rocket on the NROL-71 mission for the National Reconnaissance Office on Saturday.

The LRR, led by Lou Mangieri, ULA's NROL-71 launch director, assessed all aspects of mission readiness, discussed the status of pre-flight processing work, heard technical overviews of the countdown and flight, and previewed the weather forecast.

At the conclusion of the meeting, senior leaders were polled and then signed the Launch Readiness Certificate.

The launch is scheduled for 11:05 a.m. PST (2:05 p.m. EST; 1905 UTC).

"We are proud to launch this critical payload in support of our nation's national security mission," said Gary Wentz, ULA vice president of Government and Commercial Programs. "As the nation's premiere launch provider, the teams have worked diligently to ensure continued mission success, delivering our customer's payloads to the precise orbits requested."

Weather forecasters from the Air Force's 30th Weather Squadron predict a 70 percent chance of favorable conditions for launch. The outlook includes a few high-level clouds, northerly winds of 12 to 18 knots and a temperature near 60 degrees F. The only concern for a launch weather rule violation will be winds.

United Launch Alliance will provide complete live coverage of Saturday's countdown in this blog starting at 2:15 a.m. PST (5:15 a.m. EST; 1015 UTC). Our Live Launch Updates Blog brings you official and timely information during the Delta IV Heavy rocket's countdown with automatically-refreshing updates.

Our live video webcast also can be viewed on this page starting from L-20 minutes at 10:45 a.m. PST (1:45 p.m. EST; 1845 UTC).

At the request of our customer, live mission coverage will conclude after confirmation of payload fairing jettison, which is scheduled to occur about six minutes after liftoff.

Countdown clocks have been initiated at Vandenberg for today's Delta IV Heavy launch. We are just eight-and-a-half hours away from liftoff of the triple-core rocket on a vital mission for U.S. national security.

The application of power to the avionics aboard the Delta IV Heavy rocket is beginning at the start of the countdown. The equipment will be powered up for launch day testing and final preparations for fueling operations.

For launch today at 11:05 a.m. PST, Air Force meteorologists are predicting a few high clouds, good visibility, northerly winds of 12-18 knots and a temperature near 60 degrees F.

Overall, there is a 70 percent chance of favorable launch weather, with winds the only concern.
