Summary
editDescriptionTwo S-band tracking antennas in front of a Falcon 9.jpg |
English: CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. -- Just prior to the wet dress rehearsal for the SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket, the frameworks of two former MILA tracking station S-band 9-meter tracking antennas are seen with the Falcon 9 rocket. These antennas were used by NASA during the Apollo and space shuttle programs. They are being re-purposed by SpaceX. The antennas will be moved to another location, reassembled and refurbished for tracking during future SpaceX launches and missions. The rehearsal is in preparation for the company's first Commercial Resupply Services, or CRS, mission to the International Space Station aboard the Dragon capsule. The SpaceX CRS contract with NASA provides for 12 cargo resupply missions to the station through 2015, the first of which is targeted to launch in October 2012.SpaceX became the first private company to berth a spacecraft with the space station in 2012 during its final demonstration flight under the Commercial Orbital Transportation Services, or COTS, program managed by NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston. |
