Aquarius, is a 24 centimeter rocket used for the water rocket launch test on the last Thursday by Dragon X. Aquarius: A zodiac symbol for Chinese Calendar. The named was selected by Dragon X is from the water test, this is because the Aquarius is also known as "water" in Chinese.

For the water rocket launch test, Dragon X's CEO, Cameron Tan said, " The launch is totally perfect, for the 24 centimeter rocket had launch into 315 centimeter altitude above sea level, and it was totally great and perfect for the next development of the Phantom X launch vehicle.".

Dragon X's Environment Research Officer, Angelyn Tan said that the launch is perfect by no Earth environment pollution and effected.......

But whatever, Dragon X is still continued and working onto the Phantom X Project, developing a new Liquid Kerosene powered reusable rocket. And for the updates maintaining, Phantom X MUP-1 first demo flight and maiden flight is still scheduled on 09 December 2010, Thursday, 7:30am at Launch Complex 21.

Stay tuned for the next updated...^^

S-XOR To Go For Mission

Dragon X Aerospace Administration (Dragon X) is ready for active the new payload responsible for Solar Flare, Solar Cycle & Solar Heat Infrared observation and interpet. The new designed of the Solar X Observatory Rejectment (S-XOR) is schedule for mission on 17 August 2010, Tuesday at 5:00pm (Malaysia Local Time). Dragon X will observed and record the data from the Sun and the effection to the Earth. Other else, NASA's Solar Dynamic Observatory (SDO) is observing the Sun in the Earth orbit of 34000km above New Mexico.

Other, the Sun is very important to us and to all living organism. Sun released out four infrared to the Earth, each of them is the heat infrared. So, Dragon X's S-XOR is going to observe and interpet the data record from the Sun and to transform the Solar Heat into an external electricity power to be used.
