SpaceX has never launched a man into space, but on March 2 he will arrange a big step forward to achieve this goal. A private galactic firm will conduct a personal 1st in the situation launch of the Dragon crew-a spacecraft that (if everything goes according to plan) will send astronauts to the International galactic station (ISS) at the end of this year. But the task in the proper week will be undisclosed, it has the ability to mean the beginning of the end of America's dependence on Russia, in order to send their own people into space.

The task, called Demo-1, in real time is obliged to start at 2:49 am Eastern time on Saturday from the 39A launch ensemble at the NASA Galactic Kennedy center in Florida. As of Tuesday, NASA civil servants are committing to an 80 percent chance of favorable weather. In case of any problems, the reserve date of March 5 was still set.

As part of the Demo-1, the Dragon crew will dock with the galactic station on March 3 (around 6:00 am et) and bring in approximately 400 pounds of materials, covering a test doll tied with sensors that will undoubtedly help SpaceX and NASA recognize whether the flight is quite harmless to human travelers. On March 8, the dragon crew will leave the ISS and go to the Atlantic ocean.

The crew of the Dragon (called the Dragon 2) - the flagship research machine SpaceX. The firm has spent virtually all of this last decade working on its development, but the role in NASA's paid crew program (along with Boeing) has effectively accelerated history and forced the firm to design a galactic spacecraft to transport NASA astronauts to and from the ISS.

Since the space Shuttle program ended in 2011, NASA does not contain a working system of human galactic flight and in return trusts in the domestic missions of the Soyuz in order to transmit its own astronauts to the ISS and back. USA puts huge hopes on the paid industry has the ability to arrest a large number of low-orbit operations and enable NASA to concentrate on a tremendous goal and, eventually, send people to Mars, ignoring the delays in the development and testing of the dragon and Boeing crew in the CST-100 liner has caused a lot of frustration and concern for many in If SpaceX and Boeing are not fully ready to fly with the crew this summer, NASA risks to lose access to the ISS later in September.

But at this point, everything looks sparkling. SpaceX plans in April to continue working with other untreated crew Dragon flight, in order to find out the interrupt system of the ship, and if it leaks perfectly, the company will send 2 NASA astronauts to the ISS in the summer.

Floridians living close to the” space coast " have a number of varieties to see the launch directly, but others of us have every chance to conceive to stay and watch the live broadcast of the launch on NASA television. Lighting will start at 2: 00 am et.
