Galaxy Completed Engineering Integration

Two Recovery Chute was installed in the first section of the heading module.

Lower O Ring was installed to form a platform.

The Upper Transport Service Module (UTSM) was intalled.

Today, Dragon X had completed the engineering integration of Galaxy vehicle at the Space Vehicle Assembly Center (SVAC), High Bay 3.

The integration which involved the first installation, the two Recovery Chute to the vehicle, which then been installed by the first section of the heading module. Then the Lower O Ring was installed to the lower part of the first section heading module, which act as the platform that will support the final installation of the Upper Transport Service Module (UTSM).

Young Stars at Home in Ancient Cluster

Looking like a hoard of gems fit for an emperor's collection, this deep sky object called NGC 6752 is in fact far more worthy of admiration. It is a globular cluster, and at over 10 billion years old is one the most ancient collections of stars known. It has been blazing for well over twice as long as our solar system has existed.

NGC 6752 contains a high number of "blue straggler'' stars, some of which are visible in this image. These stars display characteristics of stars younger than their neighbors, despite models suggesting that most of the stars within globular clusters should have formed at approximately the same time. Their origin is therefore something of a mystery.

Studies of NGC 6752 may shed light on this situation. It appears that a very high number -- up to 38 percent -- of the stars within its core region are binary systems. Collisions between stars in this turbulent area could produce the blue stragglers that are so prevalent.

Lying 13,000 light-years distant, NGC 6752 is far beyond our reach, yet the clarity of Hubble's images brings it tantalizingly close.

Galaxy Upgrade Process Ongoing

The Upper Transport Service Module (UTSM)

Simulator Deck (DC) removed from the booster.

Dragon X began the upgrade process of Galaxy vehicle yesterday at the Space Vehicle Assembly Center (SVAC), High Bay 3.

The new system for the upper stage of the vehicle was named as the Upper Transport Service Module (UTSM).

Simulator Deck Removed From Galaxy

The Simulator Deck (SD) had removed from the booster early in the evening just now at the Space Vehicle Assembly Center (SVAC), High Bay 3.

The progress will continue to design and integrate with the booster within February to March. Thus, the launch date will then be decide for the launch after all preparation was done.
