SpaceX’s Crew Dragon spacecraft took off on Saturday morning, marking the first major step toward US ambitions to resume sending astronauts into space in its own spacecraft from American soil.

The uncrewed spacecraft launched as planned from Nasa’s Kennedy Space Centre in Florida at 2.49am local time (07.49 GMT), on top of a Falcon 9 rocket and carrying a dummy pilot called Ripley – a nod to Sigourney Weaver’s character in the Alien movies.

The flight will provide SpaceX and Nasa with vital data to determine whether the spacecraft is ready to carry passengers.


Nasa ended its space shuttle programme in 2011, opting instead to work with Elon Musk’s SpaceX and Boeing on a commercial crew programme.
It has since relied on Russia’s Soyuz spacecraft to take astronauts into space, which costs $81m a seat (£61m).



Crew Dragon’s lift-off has been hit by several delays.

“This is really a significant achievement in the history of American space flight,” said Nasa’s administrator, Jim Bridenstine.

“We want to make sure we keep our partnership with Russia, which has been very strong for a long period of time, going back to the Apollo Soyuz era, but we also want to make sure we have our own capability to get back and forth to the International Space Station, so that we can have this strong partnership where they can launch on our rockets and we can launch on their rockets.

“But I think another big milestone here is the idea that we’re not as an agency, as Nasa, we’re not purchasing, owning and operating our own rockets at this point, we’re looking to a future where we can be a customer, one customer of many customers in a very robust commercial marketplace in lower Earth orbit.”

The crew capsule is expected to reach the ISS at 6.05am (11.05 GMT) on Sunday, delivering around 400 pounds of cargo and staying for around five days before returning to Earth.

A trial carrying passengers for the first time could happen as soon as July. The astronauts Bob Behnken and Doug Hurley have been lined up for the flight.


SpaceX Demo-1: Falcon 9 Launches Crew Dragon & Falcon 9 First Stage Landing


SpaceX Demo-1 mission: a Falcon 9 rocket launched the Crew Dragon spacecraft from the Launch Complex 39A (LC-39A) at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center, Florida, on 2 March 2019, at 07:49 UTC (02:49 EST). Demo-1 is SpaceX’s first uncrewed test flight of the Crew Dragon spacecraft on a mission to the International Space Station.

The Crew Dragon transports roughly 180 kg (400 pounds) of crew supplies and equipment, as well as an anthropomorphic test device (ATD) fitted with sensors and nicknamed Ripley.

Following stage separation, Falcon 9’s first stage (Block 5 B1051) landed on the “Of Course I Still Love You” droneship, stationed in the Atlantic Ocean.

The Crew Dragon is scheduled to automatically dock to the Harmony module’s International Docking Adapter (IDA) on 3 March 2019, at around 11:00 UTC (06:00 EST).

SpaceX: Amateur Astronauts Launch -Lights up Night Sky
 
Sir Richard Branson Has Reached SPACE Aboard His Own Rocket Ship

Sir Richard Branson's private space tourism company has completed its first flight carrying the billionaire, two pilots, and three mission specialists to the fringes of space.

BBC 11 Jul 2021



https://wallpapercave.com/wp/yxosCm4.jpg


The VSS Unity spaceplane was launched in mid-air after dropping from the belly of its mothership at an altitude of about 9.4 miles (15km) before its rocket fired the craft and its crew into sub-orbital space at least 50 miles (80km) above the Earth.

SpaceX: Amateur Astronauts Launch on Inspiration4 Mission......

Four amateur astronauts have blasted off from Florida on their private mission to orbit.


Earlier Sir Richard Branson and Jeff Bezos went above Earth's atmosphere in their own space vehicles.

The Inspiration4 crew, comprising one billionaire and three "ordinary citizens", rode out of the Kennedy Space Center in a Dragon capsule provided by the SpaceX rocket company.

The quartet will spend the next three days circling the Earth.

It's another milestone in the space tourism market, which is experiencing a resurgence after a decade's hiatus.

Earlier this summer, billionaire businessmen Sir Richard Branson and Jeff Bezos went above Earth's atmosphere in their own space vehicles.

And following this latest mission, there'll be two privateer visits to the International Space Station (ISS) - one in October, carrying a Russian movie director and an actress, and a second early in the New Year.

The Inspiration4 crew of Jared Issacman, Hayley Arceneaux, Sian Proctor and Chris Sembroski have had six months of intensive training with SpaceX. However, onboard computer systems will be in control of their Dragon capsule, overseen by SpaceX teams on the ground.

The Dragon is not going anywhere near the ISS. It's on a "free flight" to a target altitude of 575km (360 miles). That's about 150km above the orbiting laboratory, and roughly the height from where the Hubble Space Telescope views the cosmos.

Even if they don't have a destination as such, the foursome will have plenty to keep them occupied. They've taken up scientific experiments to be conducted inside their Dragon capsule, and SpaceX has modified their temporary home to include a big window, which the crew is sure to be using during downtime to wonder at the Earth below.

The Inspiration4 venture was purchased from SpaceX by Mr Isaacman, 38, who made his fortune developing systems to process credit card payments. But rather than go on an "outing with fishing buddies", he decided, as he saw it, to inject real purpose into the flight.

So, he gifted the three adjacent seats to people with inspirational stories.

SpaceX Moon Flight to Include DJ, YouTuber and K-Pop Rapper

A commercial DJ, K-pop rapper, and a space YouTuber are to go on a trip around the Moon, after they were picked by a Japanese billionaire for a private SpaceX flight.


BBC News 9 DEC 2022.

A SpaceX picture of the Starship spacecraft that the artists would travel on

The flight, scheduled for next year, could be the first lunar journey by humans since 1972.

Businessman Yusaku Maezawa revealed his crew on Friday after a global search for creative individuals last year.

American DJ Steve Aoki and Korean star TOP are the most high-profile picks.




The proposed fly-by would see a spacecraft circle the moon, coming within 200km (124 miles) of the surface. The trip would take eight days from launch to return.

However, US regulators are yet to give permission for the Starship rocket from Elon Musk's SpaceX company that the crew is supposed to travel on.

The ship has not even been approved for an orbital journey around the Earth and has been grounded for the past 18 months in Texas, after it completed a test launch in May 2021.

But Mr Maezawa made no mention of this delay in his video announcing the crew for the mission he's dubbed dearMoon.


The opening scene shows Mr Maezawa in a Japanese garden looking up at the moon. It then cuts to show the first crew member - DJ Aoki - at one of his shows.

"I can't miss this opportunity. My soul is begging for this," the Billboard-charting artist says in the video.

The next passenger revealed is Youtuber Tim Dodd - also known as the Everyday Astronaut- who has 1.4 million followers online for his educational videos on spaceflight and astrophysics.

In his own video released on Friday the vlogger said he couldn't believe he'd been selected. He added that SpaceX's announcement in 2017 that it would send a civilian to the moon was "ironically, or poetically... actually what got me started making videos on Youtube."


The Other Announced DearMoon Mission Members Are:




TOP (Choi Seung hyun), a K-pop rapper and former lead of boyband Big Bang (South Korea)

Dancer and choreographer Yemi A.D (Czech Republic)

Photographer Rhiannon Adam (Ireland)

Wildlife photographer Karim Iliya (UK)

Filmmaker Brendan Hall (US)

Actor Dev Joshi (India)



US Olympic snowboarder Kaitlyn Farrington and Japanese dancer Miyu were named as back-up dancers.

"I hope each and every one will recognise the responsibility that comes with leaving the Earth, travelling to the moon and back," Mr Maezawa said.

"They will gain a lot from this experience and I hope they will use that to contribute to the planet, to humanity."

Mr Maezawa, who made his fortune in online fashion retailer Zozo, has become prominently involved in commercial space travel. Last year he went to the International Space Station on a Russian rocket for 12 days.




--Musk claims Starship rocket close to going orbital...:umm:



In 2018, he was named as the first private passenger due to be flown around the moon by SpaceX and said he would sponsor the cost of eight other passengers on board.

The price Mr Maezawa agreed to pay for his ticket to space has not been disclosed, but according to Mr Musk it was "a lot of money".

In 2020, he also launched a documentary search for a new girlfriend to join him on his moon voyage, before cancelling due to "mixed feelings".

SpaceX Starship: Elon Musks' Big Rocket EXPLODES on Test Flight -AGAIN

Watch all 5 times SpaceX's Starship rocket exploded in a giant fireball


BBC News 21 APR 2023

Elon Musk's SpaceX company's mammoth new rocket Starship, has exploded


https://s.yimg.com/ny/api/res/1.2/pE...46a77f8829403d

Three previous explosions of Starship prototypes





No-one was hurt in the uncrewed test that lifted off from Texas' east coast on Thursday morning local time.

After two to three minutes into the flight, the rocket - the biggest ever developed - started to tumble out of control and was soon destroyed by onboard charges.

Mr Musk has said his company will try again in a couple of months.

SpaceX engineers still class Thursday's mission as a success. They like to "test early and often" and are not afraid to break things. They will have gathered a mass of data to work towards the next flight.

"Congrats @SpaceX team on an exciting test launch of Starship! Learned a lot for next test launch in a few months," Mr Musk tweeted.

The Federal Aviation Administration, which licenses rocket launches in the US, said it would oversee a mishap investigation. A spokesman said this was standard practice when a vehicle was lost in flight.

But this isn't Starship's first explosion. Four other prototypes have blown up on smaller flights.

Even Elon Musk anticipated this, previously hinting that there was a 50% chance it would explode.
