ADVANCING ARES: NASA has moved up the targeted flight-test of the Ares I-X suborbital flight-test demonstrator to Oct. 27, four days earlier than planned following better-than-expected results from power-up and systems testing (Aerospace DAILY, Sept. 18). Pending successful testing and data verification, NASA is now expected to roll the 327-foot tall vehicle to Pad 39B at Kennedy Space Center, Fla., around Oct. 25 for the planned launch two days later. NASA adds that the target date has been confirmed with the U.S.
Launch of the U.S. Air Force’s secretive Orbital Test Vehicle (OTV) Flight 1 Space Plane has been rescheduled for April 2010 following several shifts in the busy Cape Canaveral launch manifest. The OTV is the Air Force-led X-37B, a Boeing Phantom Works-built derivative of the X-37 technology demonstrator originally developed for NASA’s “Future X” project of the late 1990s aimed at future orbital vehicle development. According to updated United Launch Alliance launch plans, the vehicle will be launched aboard the 501 version of the Atlas V on April 10, 2010.
