HASA update - Antares 1 test flight
Posted 07-08-2010 at 03:58 PM by IronRain
This week at HASA
Antares launched
on the 4th of July, the first Antares spacecraft from HASA blasted off to heavens. It will be a test flight of 5 days to check the systems and make sure that the spacecraft is ready to fly to the moon.
Images from BridgeSat-1 probe
HASA has released images from the probe that BridgeSat-1 carried. The satellite carried 2 probes (so now one). The satellite will take images from the ground sites, while the probes will check if the ground is good. BridgeSat-1 now use 75% of its fuel for a plane change so it can check the other site.
Antares 1 back home
Antares 1 is back home after a 5 day test mission in LEO. The Antares spacecraft will fly a continuous crew to the MSSEU that is in LLO.
All HASA personal gets 2 weeks off
HASA managers decided that personal at HASA get 2 weeks off to be with family. They do this because in the past months, everything went very fast for HASA. Later, in August they will get an additional week off for the same reason.

Interesting. We deployed our Antares about an hour before yours, and they took pictures of you. Unfortunately, the Voyager project has been canceled. We are currently working on a Mission to the Moon. Tomorrow at 8:00AM EST, Trinity, a Long Range Antares craft will be launched and dock with a Verrazono resupply craft in orbit. After that, they will head to the Moon and the resupply craft will remain in lunar orbit till the next mission goes to it, and after using it, will crash it at the Earth, for it to remain as a landmark where the future lunar missions will land.
