The launch of the final Defense Support Program early warning satellite currently is on tap for November, reports Amn. David Dobrydney. It was slated for late August. Boosting the DSP into orbit will be a United Launch Alliance Delta IV Heavy and marks the first operational launch for the new booster.
The successful second flight of Blue Origin’s New Glenn rocket on Nov. 13 from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, Fla., also included a first for the company—the launcher’s booster stuck its landing on a barge in the Atlantic Ocean.
