Summary
[edit]DescriptionWDR - Falcon 9 hor.jpg |
English: CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – The Falcon 9 rocket and its Dragon capsule are secured onto a transporter on Space Launch Complex-40 on Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida. The rocket is being returned to the protection of its hangar following a wet dress rehearsal on the pad March 1, which included loading the rocket with its propellants and a simulated countdown. The new rocket and capsule were designed and manufactured by Space Exploration Technologies Corp., or SpaceX, for the company’s upcoming demonstration test flight for NASA’s Commercial Orbital Transportation Services, or COTS, program. Under COTS, NASA has partnered with two private companies to develop the capability to deliver cargo to the International Space Station. During the flight, SpaceX's Dragon capsule will conduct a series of checkout procedures that will test and prove its systems. These tests include rendezvous and berthing with the space station and are intended to lead to regular resupply missions to the station. Liftoff is targeted for April 30 at 12:22 p.m. EDT pending official approval at the Flight Readiness Review on April 16. |
