THE MISSION DOSSIER.
Before every launch, a classified-style intelligence document. Weather assessment, orbital mechanics, vehicle record, and what to watch. Written by William Ray Brown. Plus scrub alerts, custom windows, live weather, and unpublished hard science fiction works.
Less than a tank of RP-1. Keeps the site flying.
UPCOMING LAUNCHES
VIEW ALL →Falcon 9 Block 5 | SDA Tranche 1 Transport Layer A
Tranche 1 Transport Layer A is one of six missions by the United States Space Force Space Development Agency (SDA) for the Proliferated Warfighter Space Architecture (PWSA) Tranche 1 Transport Layer constellation, which will provide assured, resilient, low-latency military data and connectivity worldwide to the full range of warfighter platforms from Low Earth Orbit satellites. The constellation will be interconnected with Optical Inter-Satellite Links (OISLs) which have significantly increased performance over existing radio frequency crosslinks. It is expected to operate over Ka band, have stereo coverage and be dynamically networked for simpler hand-offs, greater bandwidth and fault tolerance. This launch carries 21 satellites manufactured by Northrop Grumman.
Falcon 9 Block 5 | Starlink Group 15-25
A batch of 27 satellites for the Starlink mega-constellation - SpaceX's project for space-based Internet communication system.
Falcon 9 Block 5 | Dragon CRS-2 SpX-35
35th commercial resupply services mission to the International Space Station operated by SpaceX. The flight will be conducted under the second Commercial Resupply Services contract with NASA. Cargo Dragon 2 brings supplies and payloads, including critical materials to directly support science and research investigations that occur onboard the orbiting laboratory.
Falcon 9 Block 5 | USSF-481
A classified mission for the United States Space Force. It is possibly a batch of classified LEO satellites based on SpaceX’s Starshield satellite bus, based on locations of ascent rocket stage drop zones being fits with previous SDA Transport Layer launches.
