By Jason - September 17, 2017

United Launch Alliance was set to launch the NROL-52 mission on September 28th, however due to Hurricane Irma hitting the Florida panhandle the launch has been postponed. Hurricane Irma hit the Florida Spaceport on the evening of September 10 and continued to the next day. Luckily both the Kennedy Space Center and Cape Canaveral Air Force Station sustained minimal damage. Both will continue operations after a damage assessment.

September 26, 2017 Justin Ray

CAPE CANAVERAL — A payload critical to the nation was mounted atop its Atlas 5 rocket this morning in preparation for next week's launch into orbit.

The covert NROL-52 satellite for the National Reconnaissance Office is scheduled for liftoff Oct. 5 some time during an unclassified launch period of 3:30 to 5 a.m. EDT (0730-0900 GMT) from Cape Canaveral in Florida.

The actual launch window is hidden within that 90-minute period. A target launch time will be advertised closer to the liftoff date.

United Launch Alliance will boost the craft for the NRO, the secretive U.S. agency that operates the nation's fleet of spy satellites.

The launch follows another successful Atlas 5 mission over the weekend that deployed the NROL-42 payload from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California.

"Congratulations to the government and industry team who made this launch a success. It's always a good day when our nation launches an NRO payload that provides vital information to help keep our nation strong and protect us from enemies who wish to do us harm," said Air Force Col. Matthew Skeen, director of the NRO Office of Space Launch.

"With the anniversary of 9/11 over a week ago, we remember the horror of the terrorist attacks in 2001. NRO systems such as this one launched today help prevent that from happening again, and I am proud of the team that put this critical asset on orbit."

Hobbyist satellite observers immediately found and begin precise tracking of the new object in the sky. They confirmed it was placed into a highly elliptical, highly inclined Molniya-style orbit, lending credence that it is an eavesdropping signals intelligence platform to cover the northern latitudes.

It was the 25th mission that United Launch Alliance has successfully performed for the NRO. The flight required a powerful Atlas 5-541 version to heave the payload into space.

Next up, NROL-52 will use an Atlas 5-421 with two side-mounted solid rocket boosters.

The rocket was stacked at the Vertical Integration Facility adjacent to the Complex 41 pad at Cape Canaveral just before Hurricane Irma. The storm's landfall in Florida kept the base closed for nearly a week, but there was no damage to the launch vehicle.

This morning, the encapsulated payload was delivered to the VIF and hoisted atop the launcher.

A tip-to-tall electrical checkout of the combined rocket and payload will occur later this week, followed by final readiness reviews and then rollout to the past one week from today.

The countdown begins next Wednesday evening.

At liftoff, the 194-foot-tall rocket will weigh nearly one million pounds.

The #NROL52 mission patch depicts an eagle bursting through a red, white and blue shield as a representation of the agency's resolve to breaking through barriers in pursuit of innovative technologies and capabilities. Also appearing on the patch is the Latin phrase Defensor Libertatis, which means defender of freedom and symbolizes NRO's continued commitment to the national security mission.

Payload Speculation: NROL-52 is believed to be the second spacecraft
in the Fourth Generation of the Satellite
Data System. The NRO has used earlier
versions of the SDS in geosynchronous orbit
to relay data from low-Earth orbiting
surveillance platforms.

Two classified missions -- NROL-61 last July and
NROL-52 -- are payloads on fixed-price
contracts that include provisions for
Atlas 5 launch vehicles provided as
government-furnished equipment.


About the NRO: Headquartered in Chantilly, Virginia, the
National Reconnaissance Office develops
and operates overhead reconnaissance
systems and conducts intelligence-related
activities for U.S. national Security.

NRO Uses: The NRO is the nation's eyes and ears in
space, supporting policy makers, the Armed
Services, the Intelligence Community,
Departments of State, Justice and
Treasury, and civil agencies. All of them
depend on the unique capabilities NRO
systems provide.

NRO Capabilities: - Monitoring the proliferation of weapons of
mass destruction

- Tracking international terrorists, drug
traffickers, and criminal organizations

- Developing highly accurate military
targeting data and bomb damage assessments

- Supporting international peacekeeping and
humanitarian relief operations

- Assessing the impact of natural disasters,
such as earthquakes, tsunamis, floods and
fires.

NRO Constellations: Exquisite-class electro-optical and
radar-imaging observatories,
geosynchronous and Molniya-orbit
eavesdropping platforms, ocean
surveillance network and data-relay
support spacecraft
