al u s universities launching small research satellites cubesats international partners other government agencies missile defense agency mda national oceanic and atmospheric administration noaa national reconnaissance office nro collaboration with u s space force edit lsp also works with the united states space force ussf 20 via coordination by the launch services contractors for launches at cape canaveral space force station ccsfs and vandenberg space force base vsfb the space launch delta 45 and space launch delta 30 21 commanders respectively are the launch decision authority 22 for launches from ccsfs guardians space force civilians and contractors from throughout space launch delta 45 provided vital support including weather forecasts launch and range operations security safety medical and public affairs the wing also provided its vast network of radar telemetry and communications instrumentation to facilitate a safe launch on the eastern range 23 24 25 26 among work done by the space force is mission flight control which ensures public safety during launch 27 28 29 30 operating locations edit the lsp management business office and engineering teams support from the operations and checkout building at kennedy space center 31 the launch services program operates hangar ae on the cape canaveral space force station it is lsp s launch communications center 32 for florida launches many of the primary lsp engineers on console are in hangar ae for launches from california and other launch sites many of support lsp engineers are on console there launch services contractors and spacecraft engineers will often operate out of the hangar also it gathers telemetry for rocket launches beyond those worked by lsp lsp also maintains resident offices at vandenberg space force base california united launch alliance centennial colorado and decatur alabama northrop grumman innovation systems formerly orbital sciences dulles virginia and chandler arizona spacex hawthorne ca mission risk posture and launch services selection edit nasa has specific policies governing launch services 33 nasa uses a certification system for rockets launched by its contractors and for validation purposes it requires the certification process to be instrumented to provide design verification and flight performance data with post flight operations anomaly resolution process and a flight margin verification process with 80 predicted design reliability at 95 confidence 34 launch vehicle risk category vehicle maturity payload class 35 flight experience 34 cat 1 high risk no flight history d no previous flights required cat 2 medium risk limited flight history c and d sometimes b 1 successful flight of a common launch vehicle configuration or 3 consecutive successful flights of a common launch vehicle configuration from an evolved vehicle family developed by an lsc with a previously certified launch vehicle for risk category 2 or 3 cat 3 low risk significant flight history a b c d 14 consecutive successful flights 95 demonstrated reliability at 50 confidence of a common launch vehicle configuration or 6 successful flights minimum 3 consecutive of a common launch vehicle configuration from an evolved vehicle family developed by an lsc with a previously certified launch vehicle for risk category 3 or 3 consecutive successful flights of a common launch vehicle configuration from an evolved vehicle family developed by an lsc with a previously certified launch vehicle for risk category 3 additional advisory services edit in addition to providing end to end launch services lsp also offers advisory services 36 this is a consulting service to government and commercial organizations providing mission management overall systems engineering and or specific discipline expertise e g mission assurance flight design systems safety etc as requested by example the lsp flight design team provides general information regarding the launch vehicle performance available via existing nasa contracts 37 this non traditional service allows lsp to expand its customer base and assist these customers in maximizing their mission success by using nasa lsp s unique expertise the four general categories of advisory services are smart supplemental mission advisory and risk team design and development independent verification and validation iv v independent review teams irt spacecraft naming upcoming launches edit the schedule below includes only launch services program lsp primary and advisory missions the nasa launch schedule has the most up to date public schedule of all nasa launches the nasa kennedy news releases will also have updates on lsp launches and mission accomplishments additional nasa pages which mention future launch dates are the lsp education outreach nasa goddard s explorers program nasa goddard s flight projects directorate and nasa goddard s upcoming planetary events and missions 38 39 the elana launch

service spacecraft processing payload integration tracking data and telemetry mission unique launch site ground support and other launch support requirements all costs listed are approximate some spacecraft were awarded as a group which is why their cost is listed as 1 of a number of spacecraft unless the reference specifies otherwise the value is at award i e when the launch service contract

space station the experiment launched on the cygnus capsule going to the iss via orbital sciences corporation commercial resupply services orb 1 mission on an antares on 2014 01 09 86 87 88 89 the cygnus arrived at the iss on 2014 01 12 and will spend five weeks unloading the cargo 90 the spheres slosh investigation uses small robotic satellites on the international space station to examine how liquids move around inside containers in microgravity a water bottle s contents slosh around differently in space than on earth but the physics of liquid motion in microgravity are not well understood which affects computer simulations of liquid rocket fuel behavior lsp leads a team that includes florida institute of technology 91 92 93 and massachusetts institute of technology the research is sponsored by the game changing development gcd program within nasa technology demonstration office tdo s space technology mission directorate 94 95 96 97 98 99 the experiment is a water tank with cameras and sensors that will be mounted between two spheres satellites inside the iss during testing the spheres will move to purposely agitate the water and cause the fluid inside to slosh around like it might in a rocket or spacecraft tank during flight the data collected will be one of a kind three initial tests are expected to happen with the first couple months of launch the current inability to accurately predict fuel and oxidizer behavior can result in unnecessary caution requiring extra propellant to be added along with additional helium for tank pressurization a better understanding of fluid slosh could not only decrease this uncertainty but increase efficiency reduce costs and allow additional payloads to be launched 100 understanding from this experiment could help improve design operations of rocket tanks and control systems nasa s brandon marsell co principal investigator on the slosh project modern computer models try to predict how liquid moves inside a propellant tank now that rockets are bigger and are going farther we need more precise data most of the models we have were validated under 1 g conditions on earth none have been validated in the surface tension dominated microgravity environment of space via langley research center article 101 slosh is the first project on the iss to use 3d printed materials for its experiment nasa s jacob roth project manager on the slosh project on the first science session the results from our first checkout run are proving interesting while not too unexpected the bubble liquid interaction behavior appears to be exhibiting a slightly different interaction than current models predict the team will be altering the tests for the second session based on the preliminary results 102 videos space

spheres slosh the 2008 2010 slosh related tests on spheres were performed with a single spheres spacecraft and in some cases the addition of a battery pack velcroed on to the spheres spacecraft these tests were to better understand the physical properties of the spheres spacecraft notably the mass properties prior adding any tanks to the system 103 some of the tests also attempted to excite and
