Initial Launch Vehicle Could Be On A Launch Pad In "Months"

Falcon 9 First Stage

READ THE REST HERE:    Aero-news.net

 

SpaceX reports that only a few months remain before the first Falcon 9 Launch vehicle is assembled on a launch pad at Kennedy Space Center,

and that the initial flight of the Dragon spacecraft qualification unit could come from one to three months after that.

The flight will give SpaceX data on aerodynamics and performance for the Falcon 9 configuration that will fly on the following COTS and CRS missions for NASA.

The second Falcon 9 flight will be the first flight of Dragon under the NASA COTS (Commercial Orbital Transportation Services) program, and will demonstrate Dragon's orbital maneuvering, communication and reentry capabilities.
