    Sentinel-6 Michael Freilich launch and Falcon 9 first stage landing

    Nov 21, 2020

    The Sentinel-6 Michael Freilich satellite was launched by a Falcon 9 rocket from Space Launch Complex 4E (SLC-4E) at Vandenberg Air Force Base in California, on 21 November 2020, at 17:17 UTC (09:17 PST). The Sentinel-6 mission is part of the European Union’s family of Copernicus satellite missions and consists of two satellites: Copernicus Sentinel-6A and Copernicus Sentinel-6B, scheduled to launch in 2025. The Copernicus Sentinel-6 mission aims to provide the most accurate data yet on sea level and how it changes over time. NASA’s contribution to the mission are three science instruments for each of the two satellites, the Advanced Microwave Radiometer, the Global Navigation Satellite System – Radio Occultation, and the Laser Retroreflector Array, as well as launch services, awarded for Sentinel-6A to SpaceX for approximately 97 million USD, and supporting operations of the NASA science instruments. The Sentinel-6A satellite was renamed in honor of Dr. Michael H. Freilich, the former director of NASA’s Earth Science Division. Following stage separation, Falcon 9’s first stage landed on Landing Zone 4 at Vandenberg Air Force Base.

    CRS-21 mission

    Dec 6, 2020

    SpaceX is targeting Sunday, December 6 for launch of its twenty-first Commercial Resupply Services mission (CRS-21), which will launch from Launch Complex 39A (LC-39A) at Kennedy Space Center, Florida. L is targeted for 11:17 a.m. EST, or 16:17 UTC. Dragon will separate from Falcon 9’s second stage about eleven minutes after liftoff and autonomously dock to the space station on Monday, December 7.

    This is the first flight of the updated cargo version of Dragon, which is capable of carrying about 20 percent more volume than the previous version of Dragon and has double the amount of powered locker cargo capability. Dragon is now designed for up to five flights to and from the space station, and this cargo version of the spacecraft can stay on station for a duration more than twice as long as the previous version of Dragon.

    The Falcon 9 first stage rocket booster supporting this launch previously supported launch of Dragon’s first flight with NASA astronauts to the International Space Station (Demo-2), the ANASIS-II mission, and a Starlink mission. Following stage separation, SpaceX will land Falcon 9’s first stage on the “Of Course I Still Love You” droneship, which will be located in the Atlantic Ocean.
