Science NASA Says Static Fire Tests of ISS-bound Dragon Successful The Falcon 9 rocket and Dragon capsule, manufactured by private company SpaceX, are at Cape Canaveral undergoing final preparations ahead of the launch© flickr.com/ brunosan MOSCOW, May 1 (RIA Novosti) Related News - First Private Spacecraft Launch to ISS Delayed - Private U.S. capsule not to dock with ISS - SpaceX not allowed to dock with ISS until safety proven - Roscosmos - SpaceX’s “Dragon” makes its maiden voyage Multimedia Static fire tests of Dragon, the first private spacecraft to be launched to the International Space Station (ISS), has been successful, NASA reported. “SpaceX reports that the Static Test Fire was successful,” NASA wrote in its Twitter account. The launch, initially scheduled for April 30, was moved to May 7 to conduct additional tests of the unmanned spacecraft’s software. The Falcon 9 rocket and Dragon capsule, manufactured by private company SpaceX, are at Cape Canaveral undergoing final preparations ahead of the launch. SpaceX has already conducted two successful Falcon 9 launches and a demonstration flight of the Dragon capsule in December 2010. It became the first privately built and operated spacecraft to be launched to and recovered from Earth orbit. The Dragon can carry a payload of about six metric tons to the near-earth orbit, and recover three metric tons of payload from the orbit. Dragon was designed and built by California-based Space Exploration Technologies, known as SpaceX as part of NASA’s Commercial Orbital Transportation Services (COTS) program to encourage private companies into developing spacecrafts delivering payloads to near-earth orbit and the ISS.

Prvi privatni let na ISS odgođen za tjedan dana Tvrtka poznata i kao SpaceX bit će prva privatna kompanija koja će letjeti na ISS, 100 milijarda dolara vrijednu postaju u Zemljinoj orbiti Zbog potrebe za dodatnim testiranjima tvrtka Space Exploration Technologies na tjedan je dana odgodila prvi pokusni let na Međunarodnu svemirsku stanicu (ISS), prenosi Hina. "Odgađamo lansiranje za otprilike tjedan dana kako bismo napravili dodatna testiranja softwarea za pristajanje letjelice Dragon na ISS. Novi datum ovisi o koordinaciji s NASA-om", rekao je Musk na svom Twitteru. Tvrtka poznata i kao SpaceX bit će prva privatna kompanija koja će letjeti na ISS, 100 milijarda dolara vrijednu postaju u Zemljinoj orbiti koju su zajednički izgradili SAD, Rusija, Japan, Kanada i europske zemlje. Nakon umirovljenja flote američkih raketoplana prošle godine, NASA se nada da će privatne tvrtke poput SpaceX-a i Orbital Sciences Corpa preuzeti transport astronauta i tereta na stanicu koja kruži oko Zemlje na visini od 386 km. Lansiranje rakete Falcon 9 i kapsule Dragon tvrtke SpaceX u pokusnu misiju na ISS bilo je predviđeno za 30. travnja, ali je odgođeno za oko tjedan dana kako bi se inženjerima dalo dodatno vrijeme za testiranje softwarea koji je namijenjen za pristajanje kapsule uz ISS, rekao je Musk. Tvrtka je uspješno testirala Dragon u prosincu 2010.
