When: April 10th @ 1:45pm ET (12:45pm CT, 11:45am MT, 10:45am PT)
Where: SLC-41, Cape Canaveral Air Force Station
Mission:
A United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket will launch a classified payload for the National Reconnaissance Office.
Atlas V info:
Since 1957, the Atlas rocket has been an integral part of the United States’ space program, supporting national defense missions, launching Mercury astronauts to orbit, and sending spacecraft to the farthest reaches of the solar system. For nearly six decades, the Atlas booster has undergone a series of continuous improvements, culminating in the current Atlas V Evolved Expendable Launch Vehicle (EELV).
Designed in partnership with the U.S. Air Force, the Atlas V’s modular design approach allows for multiple configurations to meet specific customer requirements. All Atlas V launch vehicles consist of a common core booster first stage, a Centaur second stage, and either a 4-m-diameter or a 5-m-diameter payload fairing. To accommodate larger spacecraft requiring additional thrust at liftoff, one to three solid rocket boosters (SRB) can be added to the Atlas V 4-m vehicle, while the Atlas V 5-m vehicle can support up to five SRBs.

T-00d18h13m02s: The launch of a United Launch Alliance Atlas V carrying the National Reconnaissance Office (NROL-67) payload has been delayed to no earlier than Wednesday, March 26. The 45th Space Wing range experienced an issue with a mandatory range asset needed to support the launch. The Atlas V and NROL-67 spacecraft have been secured. More information will be provided as it becomes available. Problem was not able to be fixed and NROL has lost the launch opportunity.

Published on Apr 19th, 2020 | NASA
A new era of human spaceflight is set to begin as American astronauts once again launch on an American rocket from American soil to the International Space Station as part of NASA’s Commercial Crew Program. NASA astronauts Robert Behnken and Douglas Hurley will fly on SpaceX’s Crew Dragon spacecraft, lifting off on a Falcon 9 rocket at 4:32 p.m. EDT May 27, from Launch Complex 39A in Florida, for an extended stay at the space station for the Demo-2 mission. The specific duration of the mission is to be determined.
As the final flight test for S
Apollo 13: Home Safe
Published on Apr 10th, 2020 | NASA
"Houston, we've had a problem." Apollo 13 has become known as “a successful failure” that saw a safe return of the crew in spite of a catastrophic explosion in the middle of their lunar journey. This 30-minute documentary features interviews with Apollo 13 Astronauts Jim Lovell and Fred Haise, as well as Flight Directors Gene Kranz and Glynn Lunney, with engineer Hank Rotter. Parts of their interviews take place in the restored Apollo mission control room. This documentary also features original NASA footage and newly synchronized audio from Mission Control.

The original NASA insignia is one of the most powerful symbols in the world. A bold, patriotic red chevron wing piercing a blue sphere, representing a planet, with white stars, and an orbiting spacecraft. Today, we know it as “the meatball.” However, with 1970’s technology, it was a difficult icon to reproduce, print, and many people considered it a complicated
COVID-19: How Aviation is Fighting for Survival
Published on Feb 1st, 2020 | Wendover Productions
As you all are well aware of by now the aviation community has been greatly impacted by CoVid-19, or as I like to call it, the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) Corona Virus. Within the last few weeks this virus has impacted everyday life in unimaginable ways, with aviation being one of the hardest hit by this pandemic. Airlines both in the United States and globally have had to slash their domestic and international fleets to curb operating costs and stay afloat in these uncertain times. United Airlines in particular has slashed it's domestic fleet by 42% and has plans to cut it further to 68% i
