Space Exploration megathread
Since a number of cool things are happening in space exploration these days, we'll widen the scope of this thread a smidge. Conversation about all things space exploration are welcome, whether it be from NASA, SpaceX, ULA, Blue Origin, or anyone else. Chances are most of the discussion will still be about SpaceX since they love to make things public and fun, but nothing's off limits. I'll eventually get around to modifying the OP to include resources for other companies too, but in the meantime, feel free to post any cool stuff you run across.

Sounds like they're not very optimistic about landing this one. It's a HEAVY payload, so they can't boost back to land at all, and the barge landing will be way out there with little room for error in terms of fuel requirements. We'll see.


EDIT: Here's an actual tweet about it.

I looked, but can't find a link that says "SpaceX launch" tomorrow at 5:45pm. I even checked their page. Where do you go to watch live?

I have the NASAHD channel set to record, but what's listed aroung that time are "Video File" and "ISS Mission Coverage."

Ugh.

It'll be up at the normal webcast link in the OP. NASA probably won't have any coverage of this one since it's a private launch.

You can get more info about the launch here:

Spaceflightnow.com has a live feed and all Mission Status reports of all current and future launches. This is the site that most people at the Space Coast use. Launch window: 2346:14-0123 GMT (6:46:14-8:23 p.m. EST)

SpaceXStats now has a "live" page for launches, which is pretty cool. You can pick what stream you want at the top, and a twitter-style update feed below with all the details. You can even do a side-by-side view of both the "glossy" feed and the "technical" feed if you want.

There are currently no technical issues being worked. Everything is progressing smoothly toward an on-time liftoff.

T-3h 47m
Landing site weather shows waves of 1.8 meters, wind speed of 2.0 m/s, and gusts up to 3.0 m/s.
If they manage to get this thing off the ground today, this will be one of the smoothest launches they've done. Ever since they set the date, it's been smooth sailing (though everyone technically thought they might go for earlier in February - no official announcement was made to support that though).

It will be interesting how close they come to landing first stage without the boostback. Should learn a lot there.

Also:

NASA awards SpaceX with five more cargo missions to the International Space Station. NASA's other commercial supplier got zero.

Comment from discussion /r/SpaceX SES-9 Official Launch Discussion & Updates Thread.


Damn. I was hoping to watch before I left work. Now I'm worried I might be on the way home during the launch.
