COHETE ARES I-X......... NASA ESTÁ LISTA PARA LANZAR ESTE COHETE, COMO UN VUELO DE PRUEBA

Hola amigos: A VUELO DE UN QUINDE EL BLOG:, hemos recibido de la NASA una vista panorámica del COHETE I - X en sus preparativos para su lanzamiento de prueba. Aquí en la imagen apreciamos al Cohete I - X, listo para su lanzamiento de prueba, situado en la plataforma de lanzamiento 39B del Centro Espacial Kennedy en la Florida; la prueba de lanzamiento será el 27 de octubre. El Cohete tiene 100 metros de altura, su lanzamiento será en prueba suborbital sobre el Océano Atlántico. Gracias a 700 sensores los ingenieros podrán probar equipos, instrumentos y estabilidad para futuras misiones espaciales. Fuente: NASA

Weather Officer Kathy Winters offered less favorable news, reporting that there still remains only a 40 percent chance that the weather on Tuesday morning will cooperate.
The issue will be a chance of clouds and precipitation in the area. There is a four-hour launch window, extending from 8 a.m. until 12 noon EDT. If weather scrubs Tuesday's attempt, the launch team will try again on Wednesday, maintaining the same launch window.
Today's preparations at Launch Pad 39B include final ordnance work and electrical testing, as well as testing of the range safety command transmitter.
Later tonight, technicians will install the flight doors on the fifth segment simulator.
Launch countdown preparations in Firing Room 1 are scheduled for Monday, and the launch teams "call to stations" will come at 12:30 a.m. EDT on Tuesday.]]> Sun, 25 Oct 2009 15:25:09 GMT All launch preparations for the Ares I-X flight test are on schedule and the team is working no issues.
