"You have to get everything right," he said. "The passing grade is 100 percent."Musk made clear that he will hold Falcon 1 to the unforgiving pass-or-fail grading criteria during its upcoming launch for the Pentagon's Operationally Responsive Space (ORS) program office, calling the planned late-June mission an "operational flight" as opposed to a test.

GW_Simulations - 21/5/2008 11:30 AM JumpStart-1 is one of three missions for the USAF Office of Responsive Space, which will be decided around two weeks before launch. The candidates are; a Plug and Play sattelite bus developed by USAFRL, Trailblazer - a commercially developed MDA satellite bus, or NanoSat-4 and CUSat for STP and Cornell University.
My sources tell me that it will be the MDA Trailblazer satellite built by SpaceDev. The AFRL PnPSat was the preferred ORS choice but it won't be ready in time. If the launch slips, it may be chosen over Trailblazer.
antonioe - 21/5/2008 11:20 AMQuoteChris Bergin - 21/5/2008 11:07 AM Nice scoop Antonio - and thus you get to head up what will be the launch thread for this flight (bound to be a six figure viewed monster if the other SpaceX events are to go by).(*SIGH*) Yes... too bad nobody cares about Pegasus launches anymore... boooring...

Aw, c'mon! Of course I meant "64MB"... wait until you're MY age, and see if YOU don't have a senior moment like that... :laugh:

Isn't this not supposed to be known until one week before launch to prove the launch provider's ability to rapidly integrate and launch a pre-adapted payload? If we know it, then certainly the operations engineers at SpaceX who have to manage the work are going to pick up on it.Or do I have the timeline wrong?
