WASHINGTON — Space Exploration
Technologies Corp.’s (SpaceX) first
launch of a commercial
telecommunications satellite will be
delayed to Nov. 25 from Nov. 22,
SpaceX President and Chief
Operations Officer Gwynne Shotwell
said Nov. 13.
“We wanted a little bit more time to
make sure the launch site was ready
for us, and we wanted to give the
[launch vehicle] crew a little more
rest,” Shotwell said during a press
event at NASA headquarters here.
The event was held to mark the end
of NASA’s Commercial Orbital
Transportation Services Program, a
development effort that helped fund
new rockets and spacecraft from
SpaceX and Orbital Sciences Corp.
now being used to resupply the
international space station.
Shotwell would not be more specific
about the delay.
SpaceX’s customer for the Florida
launch is satellite fleet operator SES
of Luxembourg, who is entrusting its
SES-8 communications satellite to
the Falcon 9 v1.1 rocket’s maiden
launch to geostationary transfer
orbit, the drop off point for most
commercial communications
satellites. The launch will take place
from Cape Canaveral Air Force
Station’s Launch Complex 40.
SpaceX has accrued a substantial
backlog of commercial
communications satellite launches,
and a successful launch of SES-8 will
open the door for the company to
begin fulfilling those orders.
Falcon 9 v1.1, the latest version of
the company’s nine-engine Falcon 9
rocket, made its debut Sept. 29 from
Vandenberg Air Force Base, Calif.,
when it launched the Canadian
Space Agency’s Cassiope space-
weather satellite. On that flight,
Falcon 9’s upper stage failed to
reignite — something it will have to
do in order to get SES-8 to
geostationary transfer orbit.
Meanwhile, Shotwell said work is
progressing on the Falcon 9 v1.1
that will launch Thailand’s Thaicom
6, another communications satellite
bound for geostationary transfer
orbit.
“The elements [of Falcon 9] are ready
and we’re going to start shipping
them to the Cape right after a static
fire test on Nov. 19,” Shotwell said.
“And we will continue to hold the
Thaicom 6 launch date of Dec. 20.”
