You may be able to find the same content in another format, or you may be able to find more information, at their web site. The mission was delayed Monday due to a ground issue with ignition fluid, called triethylaluminum triethylboron or TEA-TEB, that sparks the oxidizer for the engines to ignite. Two others are also located in France at Villenave-dOrbon and Belin-Beliet. Mission Duration: The crew members will conduct science, technology demonstrations and maintenance activities on the microgravity laboratory during their six-month stay on the ISS.

The Dallas Morning News reported in July that Spacex will "break ground soon" and that the facility will concentrate on the serial production of Raptor 2, while the California facility will produce Raptor Vacuum and new/experimental Raptor designs. Everything's looking good so far. [46] As of March2015[update], the facility comprised 4,000 acres (1,600ha),[47] with 12 test stands; it had run over 4000 Merlin engine tests, including some 50 firings of the integrated nine-engine first stage. Dragon SpaceX, we have *** nominal orbit insertion. Now coming up to t plus 6.5 minutes into flight. Problems arose when SpaceX was unable to obtain sufficient launch window availability because the pad would overfly other Air Force pads that were frequently left occupied for weeks or months at a time, thus severely restricting SpaceX launches.
