Houston, I think we have a problem. It is the terranova climate.
Nordspace was ready to launch his rocket in St. Lawrence, located in the Burin Peninsula, on Monday, but bad climatic conditions have repeatedly stagnated the launch.
The morning on Wednesday, the company announced on its website that it would not launch that day because it is forecast that climatic conditions are significantly more favorable on Thursday or Friday.
The CEO Rahul Goel said that Wind Monday is the largest climate factor that can affect a launch because there is no rocket mechanism to direct it in the right direction.
“It goes up to the launch railroad, along the launch railroad and maintains the specific trajectory. That is why the wind is really important in this case,” he said.
Meanwhile, the Nordspace team will continue to carry out a complete test launch on Wednesday to ensure that the systems remain operations.
During the rehearsal launch, the rocket will rise to air only a few kilometers and for 45 seconds, but not to space.
Rahul Goel says he grew up seeing rocket releases and knows that they are at the mercy of Mother Nature. Now his own rocket, a six -meter taiga rocket, is in the same situation in San Lorenzo. Peter Cowan of the CBC has more.
Goel said the delays are due to Hurricane Erin move just south of the Atlantic of Canada.
“If we launched at some point in the last month, almost every day it was perfect.” said. “But again, nothing we are not prepared for. San Lorenzo is a great site.”
Roel says he is accustomed to the anticipation of waiting for a rocket launch.
“We have been seeing Rocket launches our entire life,” he said, adding that team members will wake up in the middle of the night to see other releases worldwide.
“So we are really used to waiting for days, weeks, sometimes months for certain missions to throw it,” he said.
“These are very sensitive, very expensive and security is involved. Therefore, everyone wants to make sure they are going very well.”
