JCSAT-14Falcon 9 Full ThrustSpaceX Launch Status Success Fri ยท May 6th, 2016 1:21 AM - 3:21 AM EDT Watch Online https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L0bMeDj76ig https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1lYZLxr3L4E MissionJCSAT-14Type: CommunicationsBuilt on the LS-1300 bus by SSL, JCSAT-14 will replace JCSAT 2A in geostationary orbit. Positioned at 154 degrees east, the satellite will provide high speed connectivity for maritime, aviation and resource exploration in Asia, Russia, Oceania and the Pacific. The craft contains 26 C and 18 Ku-band transponders, which are powered by 2 solar arrays for its 15 year lifetime. LocationSpace Launch Complex 40Cape Canaveral, FL, USA215 rockets have launched from Cape Canaveral, FL, USA. RocketFalcon 9 Full ThrustLength: 71 meters Diameter: 3.65 meters First Launch: December 22, 2015The Full Thrust variants first stage includes all systems necessary for an operational re-use of stages while the second stage is operated as an expendable rocket stage.The Falcon 9 Full Thrust rocket has been launched a total of 25 times with 24 successful and 1 failed launches. LandingThe first stage of the Falcon 9 landed on the ASDS, OCISLY, stationed of the east coast.Of Course I Still Love You – OCISLYThe second ASDS barge, Of Course I Still Love You (OCISLY) services launches in the Atlantic Ocean and was the site of the first landing of a SpaceX Falcon 9 first stage during CRS-8, the launch of a Dragon spacecraft to the International Space Station.Autonomous Spaceport Drone Ship – ASDSAn autonomous spaceport drone ship (ASDS) is an ocean-going vessel derived from a deck barge, outfitted with station-keeping engines and a large landing platform. Construction of such ships was commissioned by aerospace company SpaceX to allow for recovery of rocket first-stages at sea for high-velocity missions which do not carry enough fuel to return to the launch site after lofting spacecraft onto an orbital trajectory. AgencySpaceXType: Commercial Abbreviation: SpX Administration: CEO: Elon Musk Founded: 2002 Launchers: Falcon Spacecraft: Dragon Country: USASpace Exploration Technologies Corp., known as SpaceX, is an American aerospace manufacturer and space transport services company headquartered in Hawthorne, California. It was founded in 2002 by entrepreneur Elon Musk with the goal of reducing space transportation costs and enabling the colonization of Mars. SpaceX has many pads, on the East Coast of the US they own SLC-40 at Cape Canaveral and LC-39A at the Kennedy Space Center for their lower inclination launches. They also own SLC-4E at Vandenberg, California for their high inclination launches. Another site is also being developed at Boca Chica, Texas. View Rocket Launch Schedule
