LOS ANGELES http://www.teammlboriolesshop.com/t-shirts/ , Dec. 22 (Xinhua) -- U.S. private spaceflight company SpaceX launched a recycled Falcon 9 rocket and
sent another 10 satellites from Iridium Communications Inc. into orbit Friday night, as it is waiting for more next year.
The two-stage Falcon 9 booster lifted off from Space Launch Complex 4E (SLC-4E) at Vandenberg Air Force Base in California at about 5:27 p.m. local
time (0127 GMT, Saturday), creating a streak of light visible to many people across Southern California.
Many people pulled their cars over to take photos and videos of the sight. Witnesses posted their photos on social media http://www.teammlboriolesshop.com/hoodie/ , with many wondering if it was an Unidentified Flying Object (UFO).
In June, the Falcon 9's first stage was used to send 10 satellites for Iridium Communications Inc.'s next-generation global satellite constellation,
Iridium NEXT, which will ultimately include 81 satellites.
"It was definitely aliens http://www.teammlboriolesshop.com/customized/ ," SpaceX founder Elon Musk wrote jokingly on Twitter, responding to one person who said the launch
sparked an "alien debate."
Deployment of the 10 Iridium NEXT satellites began an hour after the launch, with the entire process taking about 15 minutes.
"We're 10 for 10! All 10 of Iridium NEXT satellites have deployed right on time in the desired orbit," John Insprucker http://www.teammlboriolesshop.com/ , Falcon 9's principal integration engineer, said in a webcast.
Cheers and applause broke out in the SpaceX control room as the launch was streamed live online.
"Successful deployment of 10 @IridiumComm NEXT satellites to low-Earth orbit confirmed," tweeted SpaceX, which did not attempt to recover Falcon 9's
first stage after launch.
Friday's launch was the fourth set of 10 launched by SpaceX http://www.teammlboriolesshop.com/authentic-zach-britton-orioles-jersey/ , which brings the total number of Iridium satellites now in orbit up to
40.
"Outstanding! 40 in orbit in 2017!" said Insprucker.
SpaceX is scheduled to launch 75 of the 81 in the NEXT system. Its first launch occurred in January, followed by the second in June and the third in
October. The company plans to have a total of 75 satellites launched into orbit by mid-2018.
Iridium is the only mobile voice and data satellite communications network that spans the entire globe, including across oceans, airways and polar
regions.
According to the company http://www.teammlboriolesshop.com/authentic-welington-castillo-orioles-jersey/ , it is on track to fully replace the world's largest commercial
satellite network of low-Earth orbit satellites in what will be one of the largest "tech upgrades" in history.
The satellite communications company has partnered with Thales Alenia Space for the manufacturing, assembling and testing of 81 Iridium NEXT
satellites.
Iridium's next-generation global satellite constellation will deploy a cross-linked low-Earth orbit architecture, covering 100 percent of the Earth's
surface. The process of replacing the satellites one by one in a constellation of this size and scale has never been completed before.
SpaceX has been reusing Falcon 9 first stages and is pursuing fully reusable rockets in an effort to lower the cost of spaceflight.
A slowed flight can be a hassle. The airlines get bad publicity because so many flights do not depart and arrive on time. In the U.S., the Department
of Transportation maintains statistics and publishes them often. In Europe http://www.teammlboriolesshop.com/authentic-wei-yin-chen-orioles-jersey/ , there are strict new rules for compensation. This is improving the
issue.
The vast majority of the time you won’t experience flight delays. For all of the publicity that airlines get, many of their flights get you where
you want to go with very little delay. But problems may happen. You should be prepared and have a good idea what to expect when something does happen.
It will not win you any sympathy with an exhausted airline agent if you yell and yell for compensation that is not due to you. On the other hand, you
can and should be dogged in getting what you do deserve. Remember that those airlines agents really are trying to do their best to help you and
everyone else who is in line with you. Let us go over a few scenarios.
What will the airlines do for you if you have a delayed flight? It really depends on why it is slowed. If the flight problem is because of air-traffic
delays due to congestion, most airlines won’t do much for you because they aren’t responsible for air traffic control delays (ATC delays).
If the delayed flight is because of weather… well http://www.teammlboriolesshop.com/authentic-ubaldo-jimenez-orioles-jersey/ , you are all pretty much at the mercy of the weather including the
airline. These situations are out of their control. They will try to get you on your way as best they can, but you will not be compensated for these
types of delays.
If your held up flight is due to a problem that is in their control, the airline may be more helpful. For example, is there is a mechanical problem or
crew rest problems http://www.teammlboriolesshop.com/authentic-nick-markakis-orioles-jersey/ , or computer difficulty with check-in?
Mechanical problems are a safety issue so you are in a grey area there. It pays to find out what your airline says it will do. Read its contract of
carriage before you travel. This lists your rights for when you encounter a deferred flight.
The airline may get you on your way with only an hour or so wait, but what if you have a linking flight… and you cannot make your connection? If you
might miss your connections because of a delay at your initial airport, inform the gate agent. If there are a lot of passengers missing a connection,
the airline may briefly hold a connecting flight for you…. but don’t count on this.
With airlines getting blamed for flight delays http://www.teammlboriolesshop.com/authentic-matt-wieters-orioles-jersey/ , they’d often rather leave a few passengers behind than report a late
flight. If they cannot hold the connecting flight, ask the agent to re-book you for a new connecting flight. You can call the reservations number for
your airline and you might get rebooked faster than you can at the airport with all those other passengers waiting f.
