COTS *Delivery to International Space Station* - Why I have been scarce on here.

Not sure if anyone is interested in Space programs but here is a link to some info on my latest assignment at work.

Updated 2012 COTS & CRS Schedules
February 2012

Today, Orbital updated its 2012 COTS and CRS operational schedules. Gone is our colorful Development and Flight Milestones chart, now that we're in the homestretch to our four major milestones for the year, which are as follows:

May - Antares First-Stage Static Fire Test at Wallops

June - Antares Test Flight for COTS

Third quarter - COTS Demonstration Mission*

Fourth quarter - CRS Mission #1*

*Orbital's operational dates are subject to coordination with NASA's ISS cargo delivery schedule

The level and knowledge of the people in this forum never ceases to amaze me

Oh I just a lowly test tech. Who tests circuit card assemblies then when they build up a box (aka small computer) with a bunch of the cards then I run tests at ambient, x y z vibration and then thru thermal vacuum testing. I do not design it but I understand how things work right now hehe.

That's funny, I'm at work now, just getting ready to run a vibration spectrum analysis (X, Y, Z axes) .. :] (i be a lowly tech too)
