NASA announced a one-day delay in the next cargo launch of SpaceX by Wednesday so that the launch of the 40-moon Muffled Food Bar for the International Space Station as a part of biological research has allowed the launch teams to give time to change grounded teams. On two back-to-back days on two Falcon 9 missions.
Commercial cargo flight set for Tuesday, now 1:16 p.m. Is scheduled for. Cap Canaveral complex on Falcon 9 rocket from EST (1816 GMT) with 40 launch pad. In search of Falcon 9 space station, the SpaceX dragon cargo laps the capsule in space, where the astronauts will trap the supply vessel with the robotic arm of the station.
The Monday morning lift of the Flancon 9 rocket will have 64 commercial small vehicles flying in orbit from the Vandenberg Air Force Base, California. If the cargo launch from Cape Canaveral was on Tuesday, it would mark the second Falcon 9 flight of SPASEX within 24 hours.
However, the launch from Cape Canaveral on Wednesday will still set records for the fast turnaround space between two Falcon 9 missions, less than 48 hours for the West Coast and the East Coast to separate the two flights. The shortest period between Falcon 9 came in June 2017, while two rockets from Florida and California exploded for more than 49 hours.
NASA officials said in a press conference on Tuesday afternoon that the ground crew could force the SpaceX supply mission after one day after finding ground crews for feeding a rat set to ride on the station in a drug-pressed cabin. In a brief statement on Tuesday night, the space agency confirmed one-day slips.
NASA said in an update on Tuesday night, "The launch was moved on Wednesday after a mould was found on the food bar for a rat probe before being assigned to SpaceX." "Teams use an extra bar to replace the food bars."
NASA has determined that rat research experiment is only important for keeping a drone cargo flight on the ground for a space station program, as long as the food bar can not be changed. Cape Canaveral was distributed to the Fresh Food Bar from NASA's Ames Research Center in California, to load into dragon capsules, but officials used the clock to seal the hatch of spacecraft and stand for the preparation of a countdown in advance for the final countdown preparations. One Tuesday afternoon liftoff
NASA's deputy space station program manager Joel Montblono said, "Today, when we were in the process of preparing rats to load on the vehicle, we were seeing some food bars that are needed for rats." "They were contaminated with some molds there, so we have to move forward and remove it.
"We are working hard with the SpaceX team, but it will become tougher," Montalbano said on Tuesday that NASA had confirmed a one-day launch delay.
Although the Flexon 9 rocket was sitting horizontally, 40 miles of the dragon spacecraft inside the launch pad had been kept in special accommodation on Monday. On the eve of the launch, "late load" capability allows scientists to add a time-definitive sample to the Dragon spacecraft cargo supplement.
Montalbano said, "We believe that all foods are suspicious, not only the food that has not been loaded today, but the food we have already loaded, so we are going to change all those foods." "Rodents is one of our primary target goals, so it is so important for us that if we are not ready to go with the rats, then we will go ahead and delay it in one day."
Researchers are sending animals to the space station to study the effects of micragravatei on the immune system, muscles and bones, which scientists compare to the condition of the mouse control group kept on Earth. Mice are also divided into space for young people and older groups to compare the study of how spaceflights affect elderly in the body.
"In the summary of the experiment on NASA's website, scientists wrote that" the response of biological organisms such as spaceflights and mice in humans is similar to some aspects of intense aging. "" This investigation provides better understanding of aging-related immune systems, bone and muscle disease, which can lead to new therapy for space and space use. "
Dragon Capsule has decided to keep 5,673 pounds (2,573 kilograms) of research experiments, crew provisions and parts of the space on the station.
In addition to biological experiments inside the inner compartment of the dragon, a pair of NASA payloads to mount outside the space station in the cargo bay behind the spaceship. A new instrument and technique showcases the potential for refueling satellites with cryogenic propellants in the space, and the other plants will scan the planet with a laser to measure the height, density and structure structure, density and structure of other plants. Regarding forest roles in the carbon cycle.
Dragon spacecraft decides to stay at the space station until mid-January, when it will move to the departure ocean again for admission and the parachute-assisted splashdown on the coast of California, where the SpaceX teams will recover. Capsule
Wednesday's Rezepple launches $ 3.04 billion by SpaceX, 16th in the 20-flight agreement with NASA. There is also a follow-on cargo transportation contract in SpaceX, which covers at least six additional flights at the station until 2024, and the new Crew Dragon separates NASA agreements for the development and operation of the spaceship at the space station and to take the astronauts.
NASA also has cargo delivery contracts with Northrop Grumman and Sierra Nevada Corporation, and Commercial Cruise Agreement with Boeing.
Spacex aims to hit the first stage of the Falcon 9 rocket at Cape Canaveral after a few minutes of launch on Wednesday, the first rocket returned to Florida's Cost Coast in February with the pair of Butster during the inauguration of the Falcon Heavy Rocket flight. Since then, Falcon 9 flights from Florida's Cost Coast have either shown landings on the SpaceX drone ship in the Atlantic Ocean, or they are disposed off in the first phase.
The booster set to launch on Wednesday is a brand new vehicle, and the Dragon Capsule is a senior of the previous Space Station Response Mission which began in February 2017.
