An Atlas 5 rocket will carry the GPS 2F-7 bird directly into the navigation network following launch. The evening window runs from 11:23 to 11:41 p.m. EDT.”Everyone in the room I am going to guess has been touched by GPS today in one way or another,” said Air Force Space Command leader William Shelton. “Your smartphone, financial transaction, high-speed network you may have used that uses GPS timing. It literally serves the world.”This will be the seventh of Boeing’s dozen Block 2F spacecraft to be launched. Together, they will form the backbone of the GPS network for the next 15 years.The continuous navigation signals emitted by GPS satellites allow users to find their position in latitude, longitude and altitude and measure time. A GPS user receiver measures the time delay for the signal to reach the receiver, which is the direct measure of the apparent range to the satellite.Measurements collected simultaneously from four satellites are processed to solve for the three dimensions of position, velocity and time. Users can determine their location to within feet, speed within a fraction of a mile per hour and time to within a second.GPS 2F-7 is nicknamed Capella, the “goat star,” which is the third brightest star in the northern celestial hemisphere. To symbolize the name, a ram is emblazoned on the Air Force launch crew’s patch.This year has featured a pair of Delta 4 rocket successfully launching GPS satellites in February and May, deploying the satellites nicknamed Canopus and Rigel, respectively. Now, it’s the Atlas 5 rocket’s turn to launch GPS 2F-7 and again in October with GPS 2F-8.It has been 21 years — back in 1993 — since four or more GPS satellites were launched in a single year. Those were the heydays of a half-dozen launches per year to construct an operational constellation.GPS 2F-7 will take Plane F, Slot 3 of the constellation in a reshuffling plan that ultimately bolsters the network.The satellite currently in that spot — GPS 2R-2, launched aboard Delta 245 in July 1997 — will be freed to maneuver elsewhere within the same F Plane and replace the 22-year-old GPS 2A-14, one of the longest serving GPS spacecraft. It went up in July 1992 aboard Delta 211.”The primary purpose of launching the new GPS 2F satellites is to field increased GPS signal capabilities, more accurate clocks, and reduce overall constellation risk,” according to an Air Force spokesperson.The GPS fleet features six orbital planes with at least four spacecraft in each grouping to generate the minimum 24-satellites needed for the network to function properly. File photo of Atlas 5. Credit: ULAThe storied history of GPS to provide precision navigation through a space-based constellation of satellites dates back to the 1970s, and Atlas rockets gave the earliest craft their lift into orbit to prove the novel concept would work.Atlas boosters conducted 11 launches of the Block 1 series from February 1978 through October 1985 from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California.The operational GPS satellites that created a worldwide phenomenon and today is used by civilans across the globe relied on the Delta family of rockets for their rides into space beginning in February 1989.But Atlas got back in the game last year with the launch of GPS 2F-4, a modernized satellite made by Boeing that features improved accuracy, enhanced internal atomic clocks, better anti-jam resistance and a civil signal for commercial aviation.”As I look around at this audience, I suspect some of you may have caught the space fever, like me, in the early days of space flight. Others of you are young enough to not even recall a world without GPS chips in your cell phones,” said Shelton.”Everyone in this audience knows GPS, but I’m guessing many of you did not know how this program got started. …The Navy deployed the Transit System in the early 60’s to provide two dimensional position location information to the fleet, while the Air Force worked on Project 621B to provide three dimensional position data that supported Air Force operations. “Eventually, the DoD assigned joint program responsibility for GPS to the Air Force, and it has become an amazing world-wide utility, especially after presidential directives made its highest accuracy data available to people across the globe.”From 1978, when the first GPS Block 1 satellites were launched, through 1995 when GPS Block 2 satellites became fully operational, the extraordinary precision provided by GPS navigation and timing signals has really revolutionized life as we know it. I’ll be bold and say that everyone in this room has been touched by GPS today — either through your smart phone’s GPS chip or through some financial transaction — if not both. Incredible new applications of GPS surface every day.”The United Launch Alliance Atlas 5 rocket flies in its frequently used 401 configuration to carry GPS satellites, a two-stage vehicle with no strap-on solids and a standard four-meter-wide nose cone, will be used to propel the 3,400-pound payload directly into the GPS network 11,047 nautical miles up.For tips on taking pictures of the launch, see our .

But earlier this year, the White House Office of Management and Budget cut $3.1 billion from NASA’s projected budgets through 2013 – money needed to begin development of a heavy-life moon rocket – and the president ordered an independent re-assessment of NASA’s long-range goals.

Credit: Justin Ray/Spaceflight NowCounting down to blastoff at 2:42 p.m. EDT (1842 GMT), the million-pound rocket leaped from Cape Canaveral’s Complex 41 and thundered eastward carrying the second Advanced Extremely High Frequency satellite, one of the Defense Department’s most sophisticated and critical spacecraft.”The primary purpose of the system is so our national command authorities, the senior decision leadership, have the ability to communicate in a nuclear environment,” said Dave Madden, director of the Military Satellite Communications Systems Directorate at the Air Force’s Space and Missile Systems Center.The heart of that mission is ensuring a survivable line of contact between the president, military commanders and troops on the battlefield even in nightmarish scenarios of nuclear war.”This system will give them the capability to communicate in all environments all the way up through theater nuclear war. That’s really what this is all about, so our leadership can have positive control of forces.” Valued at $1.7 billion, this satellite becomes the second of a half-dozen to be launched for the creation of a crosslinked constellation of birds that will supply communications to air, sea and ground forces anywhere in the world. Each craft is equipped with stringent anti-jamming features to get vital transmissions to the troops without concern of enemy interference.”There are a lot of threats and jammers out there that can deny our forces communications capability. …Our enemies know space is critical to our warfighting method. So they are working overboard to deny our communications, to ensure our troops don’t get the information they need to effectively operate,” said Madden.The ride to orbitGetting the 13,567-pound satellite off the ground began with ignition of the launcher’s kerosene-fed first stage main engine and lighting the trio of strap-on solid-fueled motors that added a powerful kick in thrust for the 196-foot-tall Atlas.Within three-and-a-half minutes, the rocket had crossed the threshold to space and ejected its bulbous nose cone to reveal the AHEF satellite, folded up into a boxy appearance, just waiting to spread its wings.Once a successful staging occurred, the cryogenic Centaur started its liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen engine for the first of two burns. The first firing achieved a temporary parking orbit; the second delivered the push needed to deploy the satellite into the pre-planned supersynchronous transfer orbit stretching from 138 statute miles at its lowest point to over 31,200 statute miles at its highest and inclined 20.6 degrees to the equator.The payload separated from the rocket 51 minutes after liftoff while cruising high above the Indian Ocean, in view of the military’s Diego Garcia tracking station.Avoiding the pastControllers plan to spend the next 100 days or so using the craft’s conventional main engine, fed with hydrazine and oxidizer, to execute three large orbit-raising maneuvers, then perform propulsion-with-patience with exotic electric thrusters to circularize the orbit 22,300 miles over the equator for months-long testing.No doubt officials will be anxious when the craft’s engine is ignited for the first time given the tumultuous experience with the AEHF 1 satellite in 2010. Credit: U.S. Air ForceFollowing deployment into the same drop-off orbit by an Atlas 5 rocket and facing an identical orbit-raising plan, some obstruction in the AEHF 1’s oxidizer plumbing prevented the main engine from firing. After two aborted attempts, engineers were forced to develop a heroic backup strategy to salvage the mission.It took 14 months and over 500 maneuvers, relying heavily on the Hall Current Thrusters firing nearly continuously for vast stretches of time to harness their whisper-like push to propel the satellite to its intended altitude.The miracle recovery plan worked, getting the craft where it needed to be and with enough residual fuel to last its entire life expectancy. Rigorous checks to AEHF 2 and its sister-satellite AHEF 3 have confirmed no such blockage exist in their plumbing.”The original problem, we believe, was caused when rework was accomplished on our propulsion system,” said Madden. “Between X-rays and examination and flow tests, we’ve checked out the propulsion system, both fuel and oxidizer, so we have extremely high confidence problem we will never see this problem again.”Read our on the rescue of AEHF 1.Building sophisticated hardwareConstructed around Lockheed Martin’s A2100 satellite model with a 14-year design life, the AEHF satellites feature power-generating solar panels stretching 89 feet tip-to-tip and two antenna-laden deployable wings.What’s more, the craft are nuclear-hardened to survive the effects of hellish warfare and possess built-in autonomy to resolve onboard problems while enduring hostile conditions.They are built to follow the military’s aging Milstar satellite series that provide the preeminent communications with top-level protection.While all five Milstars remain in use, the emerging AEHF fleet will fly alongside to offer their faster data speeds and expand the capacity for secure communications across the world. An artist’s concept of the AEHF coverage patterns. Credit: Lockheed Martin”This system is integral to our national security space architecture. It provides significantly improved protected communications capabilities for both tactical and strategic users. With the addition of a second AEHF satellite in the constellation, the nation will have a robust and resilient seven-satellite combined Milstar-AEHF constellation that will add significant protected communications capabilities for the warfighter,” said John Miyamoto, Lockheed Martin’s vice president for advanced programs in Global Communications Systems.The satellite constellation’s primary purpose is keeping communications flowing between the military and civilian leadership in any extreme wartime environment, which would give the U.S. information superiority. “This system enables (leadership) to set up a voice communications network to ensure we have a positive control of all our weapons and it is critical to our command authority to control forces,” said Madden.With complex encryption, a low probability of intercept and detection, jammer resistance and the ability to penetrate the electro-magnetic interference caused by nuclear weapons, the AEHF satellites will give the highest protection for communications to the most-critical users.Advancing to new capabilitiesBuilt in a collaboration with Northrop Grumman, AEHF spacecraft can provide quicker communications simultaneously to more users through modernized technology.Designers say one AEHF spacecraft has more capacity than Milstar’s five-satellite constellation combined and its faster data rates will benefit tactical military communications, enabling higher quality maps, targeting data and live video to be transmitted without being detected by the enemy. An artist’s concept of AEHF 1. Credit: Lockheed MartinThe improved data rates on AEHF vary from 75 bits per second to 8.2 million. In contrast, Milstar’s highest rate is 1.5 million bps.”Individual user rates are increased five-fold, providing new capabilities including tactical military communications, real-time video, battlefield maps and targeting data,” said Miyamoto.The new satellites will be crosslinked with each other and with the existing Milstars. A key test planned for next year between the first two AEHFs and the associated ground infrastructure will occur before they are formally placed into service.”The Advanced EHF system will be the backbone for protected and reliable and secure communications well into the next decade. Getting SV2 to GEO and operational will be a major milestone enabling DOD’s transition from Milstar,” said Madden.Communications relayed through AEHF can include critical support to Special Operations, situational awareness for Army troops, giving last-minute targeting information to deployed Air Force fighters and transmitting Tomahawk missile updates to the Navy.For the nation’s nuclear forces, these durable satellites would be the communications lifeline for crisis response and war planning in the most dire circumstances imaginable.An international endeavorAlthough officials won’t say exactly where AEHF 2 will be positioned, they acknowledge the craft’s coverage footprint will include Europe.”SV2 will build on our longterm cooperative efforts with Canada, the Netherlands and United Kingdom by extending coverage into the European region. This important cooperation enables coalition operations with our key allies, extended interoperability and provides our international partners with an important national capability,” said Madden.The nations were early partners on the AEHF program, supplying resources to help bring the new satellite series to fruition.The way aheadSchedules call for AEHF 3, which has been built and now awaits its opportunity in the packed military launch manifest, to fly in September 2013. AEHF 4 is slated to launch in 2016. The Air Force has received authorization to buy AEHF 5 and 6 together in a bulk deal to save money for launches in 2017 and 2018, respectively.Today’s launch marked the 30th for the Atlas 5 rocket over the past decade and the 60th for United Launch Alliance since its formation five years ago.It also marked the third military communications satellite launch this year, following the January flight of a Delta 4 that deployed the latest bird for the Defense Department’s high-volume Wideband Global SATCOM craft. An Atlas 5 in February put up the Navy’s first satellite in a new mobile communications fleet. Now, today’s mission served the nation’s secure network.All four of ULA’s missions conducted so far this year have supported U.S. national security, hauling up those three new military communications satellites and a radar-imaging surveillance spy satellite aboard pairs of Delta 4 and Atlas 5 rockets. That dedication continues in June when the next Atlas 5 and a Delta 4-Heavy each carry out missions for the National Reconnaissance Office from the Cape.Additional coverage for subscribers:VIDEO:FULL LAUNCH EXPERIENCE VIDEO:ATLAS 5 ROCKET BLASTS OFF WITH AEHF 2 VIDEO:LIFTOFF AS SEEN FROM THE KSC PRESS SITE VIDEO:NARRATED PREVIEW OF ATLAS/AEHF LAUNCH Final Shuttle Mission PatchFree shipping to U.S. addresses!The crew emblem for the final space shuttle mission is now available in our store.

Posted: April 3, 2009It was a perfect Friday night flight for the Atlas 5 rocket, completing a military mission that put an advanced communications spacecraft into the sky to serve U.S. forces deployed in Iraq and Afghanistan.”We only have one chance to get it right! In this profession you have to be meticulous to detail and patient to ensure mission success,” said Capt. Jeffrey Fisher, the mission lead. Credit: Pat Corkery/ULASee more Patience proved to be a virtue for the team, having experienced a long wait to see the 19-story rocket and Wideband Global SATCOM 2 spacecraft successfully thunder away from Cape Canaveral’s Complex 41. Technical challenges had held up the launch for several months, but the main engine and twin solid boosters finally lit at 8:31 p.m. EDT to begin a spectacular nighttime ascent.About 31 minutes later high over Africa, the rocket’s Centaur upper stage gently released the 12,790-pound satellite into the planned orbit.”WGS 2 is truly an amazing spacecraft that will continue to expand the critical communications capability depended on by the joint warfighting team,” said Col. Michael Moran, commander of the Atlas Group at the Air Force’s Space and Missile Systems Center.”Congratulations to the entire team for their hard work and dedication to the mission,” said Brig. Gen. Edward L. Bolton Jr., 45th Space Wing commander at the Cape. “We’re helping to give the most versatile and sophisticated technology to our warfighters.”Ground controllers will maneuver the satellite into a circular geostationary orbit and conduct an extensive testing program to fully check out the communications gear before the craft can enter service in September.”This asset is intended to be on-orbit for 10 to 15 years,” said Lt. Col. John Wagner, commander of the 45th Launch Support Squadron at the Cape. “This is going to be providing vital information 24/7/365.”The satellite will be parked over the equator around 60 degrees East longitude for use by U.S. Central Command in Afghanistan, Iraq and other parts of Southwest Asia, according to Col. William Harding, vice commander of the Military Satellite Communications Systems Wing at the Space and Missile Systems Center in Los Angeles.”WGS is a force multiplier for our troops in the field who defend America’s freedom everyday,” said James Bell, United Launch Alliance’s WGS mission manager for Atlas and Delta.A half-dozen WGS satellites will be put into space over the next few years to provide a major upgrade of the military’s main communications infrastructure, replacing the aging Defense Satellite Communications System (DSCS) spacecraft. Each WGS has 10 times the capacity of a DSCS satellite, allowing users to process and receive data quicker than ever before.”The WGS system provides a quantum leap in communications bandwidth for Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Marines, and is the DOD’s highest capacity communications satellite,” Harding said.WGS 1 entered service last year to cover the vast Pacific Command that spans the U.S. western coast all the way to Southeast Asia.”Users love it and we expect a similar reaction when we get WGS 2 up over CENTCOM,” Harding said.Built by Boeing, the sophisticated WGS spacecraft are constructed around the company’s powerhouse 702-model design used by commercial satellite operators. But within the WGS craft are Ka- and X-band military communications packages to serve forces stationed around the globe. The WGS craft offer X-band communications, like the venerable DSCS satellites, to relay data, photos and video to troops on the battlefield. What WGS offers that DSCS does not is Ka-band communications. Officials describe the extra frequency as a way of serving up large amounts of information for reception by U.S. and allied forces across a wide area. A third WGS satellite is scheduled for launch later this summer from Cape Canaveral aboard a Delta 4 rocket. It will be positioned over the Eastern Atlantic at an orbital slot of 12 degrees West longitude, Harding said, for U.S. European Command and U.S. Africa Command operations.”WGS 3 has also completed a very rigorous test program and sits in storage in our factory here in El Segundo awaiting its call-up and launch later this year,” said Mark Spiwak, WGS program director at Boeing.Three additional satellites with enhanced features, known as WGS Block 2, are planned to launch in 2011, 2012 and 2013, respectively. The final one was purchased in cooperation with Australia.”The six-vehicle WGS constellation will not only provide much greater throughput than DSCS, but the number of spacecraft receive and transmit beams available to support the user community will also increase more than four-fold, giving the system greater flexibility, agility and area coverage,” said Col. Don Robbins, commander of the Wideband SATCOM Group at the MILSATCOM Systems Wing.Additional coverage for subscribers:VIDEO:ATLAS 5 ROCKET LAUNCHES WITH WGS 2 VIDEO:LAUNCH PREPARATIONS Final Shuttle Mission PatchFree shipping to U.S. addresses!The crew emblem for the final space shuttle mission is now available in our store.

The review panel held its first public hearing Wednesday and its final report is expected by the end of the summer.

If all goes well, LCROSS will aim itself and the Centaur back at the moon, targeting a permanently shadowed crater near the south pole for a dramatic crash landing Oct. 9. With LRO looking on from lunar orbit, the 5,000-pound Centaur will hit the dark surface at some 5,600 mph, blasting out a 66-foot-wide crater some 13 feet deep.

We’ve successfully launched 10 missions on this rocket — missions to Pluto, Jupiter, the moon, the sun, the radiation belts and three spacecraft to Mars,” said NASA launch director Tim Dunn.The flight Thursday will deploy a replenishment satellite for the TDRS network that works in geosynchronous orbit 22,300 miles high and looks down to track low-Earth orbit spacecraft.”The voice and data communications that the TDRS constellation brings back to Earth every day from the International Space Station, the Hubble Space Telescope and many of our on-orbit NASA spacecraft touch each of our lives,” said Dunn.Rollout one-third-of-a-mile began at 10:22 a.m. EST and took about 30 minutes. The launch team loaded the first stage with RP-1 kerosene fuel later in the afternoon before securing the rocket for a quiet overnight.The countdown begins at 1:55 p.m. EST for liftoff at 9:05 p.m. EST.It will be the first of 15 flights in 2014 for United Launch Alliance and the 78th since the firm was created seven years ago.See our for the latest news on the launch.Photo credit: Ben Cooper / United Launch AllianceAtlas 5 rolls out with Navy satellite for hefty launch SPACEFLIGHT NOWPosted: July 17, 2013 They are the U.S. military’s heaviest spacecraft looking for rides to orbit — the Navy’s next-generation satellites providing communications to forces on the move — and the United Launch Alliance’s mightiest version of the Atlas 5 will do the heavy lifting Friday morning to deploy the second bird in the series. Atlas was rolled to the pad Wednesday. Credit: Walter Scriptunas / Spaceflight NowLiftoff of the Mobile User Objective System satellite No. 2 is scheduled for 8:48 a.m. EDT (1248 GMT) from Cape Canaveral on Florida’s east-central coast.”At nearly 15,000 pounds, MUOS 2 marks the heaviest satellite launched to date by an Atlas 5,” said Jim Sponnick, ULA’s vice president of Atlas and Delta programs.The 206-foot-tall rocket, riding aboard its mobile launch platform, was rolled out from the assembly building to the Complex 41 pad Wednesday morning.At the same time, other ULA workers just down the road at Complex 37 were conducting a countdown dress rehearsal and fueling test on a Delta 4 rocket for its launch of the Air Force’s sixth Wideband Global SATCOM satellite on August 7.Atlas clocks begin ticking early Friday for the seven-hour countdown. Weather officials will be monitoring isolated showers and thunderstorms coming ashore from the Atlantic, a forecast that gives a 40 percent chance of acceptable conditions during the 44-minute launch window.With five powerful solid rocket motors mounted to the first stage, the Atlas 5 will thunder skyward in its most energetic configuration, which has been employed only three times before to launch the first MUOS satellite and hurl NASA space probes to Jupiter and Pluto.The Atlas 5, making its 39th flight in 11 years, is a modular launcher that enables mission designers to mix and match the number of solids and various nose cone selections to meet the needs of a given payload. The highly sophisticated and hefty MUOS series takes all the power.The spacecraft is packaged atop the rocket for a three-hour climb into its preliminary orbit, a highly elliptical dropoff point that requires three firings by the Centaur upper stage to achieve.From there, controllers will spend about eight days maneuvering the craft into a circular geosynchronous orbit 22,300 miles above the planet, then three days commanding the craft to spread its power-generating wings and unfurl two giant antennas on the ends of extension booms.”With the launch of the second MUOS spacecraft, we take the next large step toward providing truly global narrowband communications for our deployed warfighters around the world,” said Navy Capt. Paul Ghyzel, manager of the Satellite Communications Program Office. Atlas was rolled to the pad Wednesday. Credit: Walter Scriptunas / Spaceflight NowAt the heart of the MUOS satellite’s communications payload are two gold mesh, umbrella-like antenna reflectors, one to provide the same type of UHF communications like previous Navy spacecraft and the other offering modernized capabilities that the new system will create.”MUOS will deliver unparalleled high-speed communications access to mobile users for decades,” said Iris Bombelyn, vice president of Narrowband Communications at satellite-builder Lockheed Martin.”With over 20,000 terminals that are capable of connecting to this secure mobile (satellite communications) system, we are at the cusp of our potential. The MUOS satellite provides not only ongoing support for the legacy UHF Follow-On users in the field but a myriad of new services, bandwidth, capacity and applications to mobile users.”Coverage to legacy users will transmit through a 17.7-foot-diameter reflector on the bottom of the MUOS craft and the advanced, multi-beam features of MUOS to significantly increase the transmission capacity over the Navy’s previous satellites will use a large 46-foot reflector atop MUOS.All U.S. military forces rely upon Navy satellites for Ultra High Frequency narrowband communications. UHF offers small, portable units that forces can carry into battle and the frequency enables communications in urban canyons and mountainous terrain, penetrating foliage and transmitting through bad weather.Each MUOS satellite has 16 times the capacity of the aging UHF satellite constellation.What’s more, the new satellites not only support the current user terminals in operation but also creates a new “rugged smartphone” network to provide 3G-like cellular telephone and data services across the globe. An artist’s concept of MUOS.

Anybody that is using a radio that is capable of communicating with MUOS, when they speak their transmission is picked up by the satellite and then routed like a cellular system would route to wherever it needs to be to talk to the guy on the other end.”So if you are driving down the interstate and you walk to talk to a guy one county over, you may be using the same tower. For Bob to talk to Jim.”But if Bob is in Florida and wants to talk to his wife in Seattle, he can pick up a cellphone, the tower next to the interstate he is driving on is going to pick up that call, but then it is going to go through a fiber optic network to get to a celltower that is closest to his wife in Seattle and that tower is going to send that call to her cellphone.”Much like for us in MUOS, if you got somebody that’s in Hawaii that needs to talk to a ship that’s 200 miles off Hawaii, that traffic is going to go through the satellite that is over the Pacific.”But if that ship commander needs to talk to somebody that is in Afghanistan, then they are going to transmit over MUOS, the satellite over the Pacific is going to up that transmission, but (it is) then routed through the rest of the MUOS network to the satellite that’s going to be over the Indian Ocean, eventually, and then down into Afghanistan.”You can think of the satellites as the celltowers in the sky. That’s a really good way to think of how the system works.” Atlas is set for launch Friday at 8:48 a.m. EDT.

All five MUOS craft are clones to each other, with four slated to be operational satellites in the constellation and one considered an on-orbit spare.MUOS 1 was successfully launched on Feb. 24, 2012. MUOS 3 is eyeing a launch in about 12 months, followed by MUOS 4 in the summer of 2015 and MUOS 5 some time after that.The Atlas rocket has been the expendable launch vehicle of choice for the Navy’s narrowband UHF communications satellites dating back several spacecraft generations to the 1970s, exclusively carrying the entire Fleet Satellite Communications System, Ultra High Frequency Follow On series and now MUOS. A variety of Atlas-Centaur versions have been employed on the previous 20 flights since 1978, all from Cape Canaveral.STS-134 PatchFree shipping to U.S. addresses!The final planned flight of space shuttle Endeavour is symbolized in the official embroidered crew patch for STS-134.

The Atlas 5 rocket blasts off. Credit: Pat Corkery/ULAMounted atop the United Launch Alliance Atlas 5 booster, the shuttle was tucked inside the voluminous nose cone and simply along for the ride as it left Cape Canaveral’s Complex 41 on a flight whose objectives and duration are not public knowledge.”As the X-37B program is examining the affordability and reusability of space vehicles, validation through testing is vital to the process. We are excited to see how this vehicle performs on a second flight,” said Lt. Col. Tom McIntyre, X-37B program manager for the Air Force Rapid Capabilities Office.Standing 196 feet tall and weighing 757,380 pounds at launch, the Atlas 5 headed eastward off the pad at 1:03 p.m. EST (1803 GMT), exactly as planned despite a bleak weather forecast.The dual-nozzle RD-180 main engine gulped kerosene fuel and liquid oxygen to generate nearly a million pounds of thrust that shook Florida’s Space Coast during the mid-day departure.Less than four minutes into the ascent, Atlas crossed the threshold to space and jettisoned its payload shroud to uncover the mysterious X-37B that had been hidden from sight throughout the entire pre-launch preparation process.The first stage finished its burn four-and-a-half minutes after liftoff, separating away to reveal the RL10 engine on the Centaur upper stage. The launch had been delayed a-month-and-a-half to examine by a similar powerplant of a Delta 4 rocket. Artist’s concept of the X-37B riding atop the Centaur upper stage. Credit: ULAThe Centaur appeared to function flawlessly, firing for 13 minutes to heave the winged cargo into the desired low-Earth-orbit around the planet, although the actual altitude target was kept quiet. Just minutes later, the separated payload and bright rocket body, flying in formation, passed within view of a respected skywatcher in South Africa who spotted the newest objects orbiting Earth.”What a fantastic sight!” Greg Roberts exclaimed. “Absolutely beautiful! Now people might understand why I am so daft and mad about satellites — it is moments like this that make it so rewarding!”Roberts and others correspond on the Internet about their hobby of tracking all sorts of satellites, keeping highly precise information about spacecraft orbits.ULA and Air Force officials hailed Tuesday’s launch as a success, beginning the third mission for the X-37B program and the second for this particular spaceplane that had flown the maiden voyage from April through December 2010.”This mission will incorporate the lessons learned during the refurbishment process on OTV-1,” McIntyre said.A second vehicle spent 469 days in orbit from March 2011 until this past June.”We couldn’t be more pleased with the strides we’ve made in this program and the success of the X-37B vehicle on the first two flights,” said Richard McKinney, deputy under secretary of the Air Force for space. “However, it is important to keep in mind that this is an experimental vehicle and a third mission is still relatively young for a test program. This is the first re-flight of a vehicle so that is certainly a key objective for us. We have only just begun what is a very systematic checkout of the system.” Artist’s concept of the X-37B in orbit with the solar panel deployed. Credit: BoeingOne-quarter the size of NASA’s now-retired space shuttle, the unmanned X-37B conducts its mission and then autonomously returns to Earth, braking from orbit, plunging through the atmosphere and gliding to a pinpoint touchdown on a conventional runway to be refurbished and reused.It harkens back to the civilian space shuttle era, taking payloads up and down, and flying the same orbital trucks over and over again.”The second mission for OTV-1 demonstrates the vehicle is capable of multiple missions and affordable access to space,” said Paul Rusnock, vice president of Boeing Government Space Systems.While the first two X-37B missions touched down at Vandenberg Air Force Base in California, the Air Force acknowledges it is looking at the potential of landing this latest flight at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida.”We’re seeking to leverage previous space shuttle investments and are investigating the possibility of using the former shuttle infrastructure for X-37B OTV landing operations, potentially as early as for the landing of OTV 3. Those investigations are in an early state, and any specifics will not be known for some time,” the spokesperson said this autumn.That infrastructure includes the former space shuttle hangars, known as Orbiter Processing Facility bays, where the ships underwent post-flight deservicing and were readied for the next mission. Boeing has taken OPF bay 3 for use in preparing its commercial crew capsules for launches, but the interconnected OPF bays 1 and 2 are available for a customer like the Air Force.KSC has a three-mile-long concrete landing strip where space shuttles landed for three decades. It is the same length as the Vandenberg runway that X-37B has used. The second X-37B on the runway after landing in June. Credit: Air ForceWhen this spaceplane will be coming back, however, is not known.”As with many other advanced technology test programs, some details of the mission and test requirements are classified or sensitive. The focus of the program remains on vehicle capabilities and proving the utility and costeffectiveness of a reusable spacecraft,” an Air Force spokesperson says about the X-37B flights.”One of the most promising aspects of the X-37B OTV is it enables us to examine a payload system or technology in the environment in which it will perform its mission and inspect them when we bring them back to Earth. Returning an experiment via the X-37B OTV enables detailed inspection and significantly better learning than can be achieved by remote telemetry alone. Experiments can then be modified and reflown, allowing us to mature technology faster,” the Pentagon spokesperson added.X-37B features a pickup truck-size cargo bay, seven feet long and four feet wide, that could be filled with equipment being exposed to the harsh environment of space for proof testing or could contain experimental instruments intended for use by future military and reconnaissance satellites. The craft’s unique capability to drop from orbit and land on a runway allows technicians to get their hands on the hardware after it spent more than a year in space. This photo taken in 2010 shows the original X-37B spaceplane undergoing pre-launch processing. Credit: Air ForceWild speculation about the spaceplanes and their missions has ranged from secret flyby surveillance of China’s orbital station to the weaponization of space. But the Air Force stresses that the X-37B is a test bed to carry experiments into space.”We want to be able to put an object up into space, materials and technology and so forth, test them out, bring them back and examine them,” McKinney has said previously. “That’s what it is, pure and simple.”Built by Boeing’s Phantom Works division, the spaceplane is 29 feet long with a wing span of 15 feet, made of light-weight composite structures instead of aluminum and shielded with improved leading-edge ceramic insulation panels on its wings and tougher silica tiles affixed to its belly that are designed to be more durable than first-generation tiles used on the space shuttle. It can weigh up to 11,000 pounds fueled for launch. The in-space design life is 270 days, but good performance on this past mission enabled ground controllers to keep it aloft significantly longer.”The X-37B OTV is designed for an on-orbit duration of approximately 9 months,” said McIntyre. “As with previous missions, actual duration will depend on the execution of test objectives, on-orbit vehicle performance and conditions at the landing site.”Unlike the space shuttles that used cryogenic liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen reactants to generate electricity through onboard fuel cells, limiting the mission lengths by the amount of consumables that could be carried, the OTV is powered by a deployable solar array.

House Judiciary Republicans, in their letter, raise the possibility that Holder perjured himself by issuing an ironclad denial of any involvement in the investigation and potential prosecution of reporters. “The media reports and statements issued by the Department regarding the search warrants for Mr. Rosen’s emails appear to be at odds with your sworn testimony before the Committee,” they wrote. “We believe – and we hope you will agree – it is imperative that the Committee, the Congress and the American people be provided a full and accurate account of your involvement in and approval of these search warrants.”

Shin-Soo Choo hit Lincecum’s fifth pitch deep to right. Hunter Pence jumped above the wall and had the ball deflect off the heel of his glove back into play.

Politically, has he improved his position? Tory backbenchers appreciate his voter-friendly measures, but he hasn’t won over the Reaganites and radicals: David Davis piled in last night. Mr Osborne is helped by Labour’s troubles. Ed Miliband had a poor outing, and despite Ed Balls’ best efforts this morning, no one is taking what Labour says seriously. Conservatives who want to win the next election should be pleased that the Chancellor has that objective so obviously in mind. That will not satisfy the purists who wish him to concentrate on the vital task of getting out of the mire. But if the criticism of Mr Osborne has been that he is not doing enough to get the Tories back on track to win, then yesterday was a big step towards restoring his reputation as a tactician.
