Summary
DescriptionStargazer and Pegasus F43 in flight over Atlantic (KSC-20161212-PH LAL01 0009).jpg |
English: Photographed from the F-18 pathfinder aircraft, the Orbital ATK L-1011 Stargazer aircraft is seen flying over the Atlantic Ocean offshore from Daytona Beach, Florida. Attached beneath the aircraft is the Pegasus XL rocket with eight Cyclone Global Navigation Satellite System, or CYGNSS, spacecraft. The CYGNSS satellites will make frequent and accurate measurements of ocean surface winds throughout the life cycle of tropical storms and hurricanes. The data that CYGNSS provides will enable scientists to probe key air-sea interaction processes that take place near the core of storms, which are rapidly changing and play a crucial role in the beginning and intensification of hurricanes.
NOTE: The Dec. 12, 2016 launch attempt was postponed due to a hydraulic pump aboard the Orbital ATK L-1011 aircraft which is required to release the latches holding Pegasus in place, is not receiving power.
Español: Fotografiado desde el aeronave F-18 Pathfinder, se puede ver volando el aeronave Orbital ATK L-1011 Stargazer sobre el Océano Atlántico cerca a Daytona Beach, Florida. Adjuntados bajo el aeronave están un cohete Pegasus XL y ocho naves especiales satelitales llamado CYGNSS (Cyclone Global Navigation Satellite System). Los satélites CYGNSS medirán frecuentemente y precisamente los vientos de superficie sobre los océanos durante el ciclo vital de tormentas tropicales y huracanes. Los datos que son proporcionados por los satélites CYGNSS permiten a los científicos investigar los procesos claves de aire y mar, los que tienen lugar cerca el núcleo de un tormento y que son cambiando rápidamente, desempañando un papel crucial en el inicio y intensificación de huracanes.
Nota: El nuevo intento de lanzamiento el 12 de diciembre de 2016 fue pospuesto debido a un asunto con una bomba hidráulica en el aeronave Orbital ATK-L1011 (la cual se requiere para soltar las lengüetas que le fijan el cohete Pegasus al aeronave) en que la bomba no recibió poder. |
