JSC Special: Morpheus – Higher, Faster, Farther – Today at KSC

Today, the Morpheus team plans another free-flight test at Kennedy Space Center (KSC), going almost twice as high, far and fast. The test will be streamed live on JSC's UStream Channel. View the live stream, along with progress updates sent via Twitter on the website. Or, if you're on-site, watch live on JSC HDTV (channel 51-2) and IPTV (channel 4512).

 

During this test, the autonomous untethered Morpheus "Bravo" vehicle will launch from the ground over the flame trench, ascend approximately 93 meters, then translate approximately 109 meters downrange while descending to land in the hazard field. Test firing is planned for approximately 12:15 p.m. CST and will last a little over one minute. Streaming will begin approximately 20 minutes prior to ignition.

 

*Note: Testing operations are very dynamic, and actual firing time may vary. Follow Morpheus on Twitter for the latest information @MorpheusLander. (Send "follow morpheuslander" to 40404 for text updates.)
