Title: Re: Aries 1-X New Rocket Test - short notice Post by: W3RSW on October 27, 2009, 10:19:26 AM I drifted off to the tech section to check on the latest knob removal techniques and got confused. ;D
-glad I'm not a rusty knob. Title: Re: Aries 1-X New Rocket Test - short notice Post by: WD8BIL on October 27, 2009, 10:43:12 AM Quote The lower stage appears to be one of shuttle's solid rocket boosters. Four first-stage, solid-fuel booster segments are derived from the Space Shuttle Program. A simulated fifth booster segment contains Atlas-V-based avionics, and the rocket's roll control system comes from the Peacekeeper missile. The launch abort system, simulated crew and service modules, upper stage, and various connecting structures all are original.

Title: Re: Ares 1-X New Rocket Test -MISSION SCRUBBED FOR TODAY Post by: Steve - WB3HUZ on October 27, 2009, 01:53:23 PM In terms of your basic no-go forecasted scenario as we move forward on this issue, the outlook is uncertain.
