The Space Development Agency successfully got its Tranche 0 satellites off the ground April 2, two and half years after it first awarded the contract.
Those two and a half years included a few extra days of delays, but when a SpaceX rocket lifted off from Vandenberg Space Force Base carrying 10 satellites—eight for transporting and relaying data and two for missile tracking—it put SDA’s vision for the future into orbit for the first time. Tranche 0 is part of Proliferated Warfighter Space Architecture (PWSA). The April 2 shot was the SDA’s first dedicated launch and the first launch of PWSA. Beyond the new names and acronyms, the SDA hopes to inject something else new into the DOD: speed.

“By hook or by crook, we will get new capabilities fielded in space every two years,” Tournear said at the Navy League’s Sea-Air-Space conference in National Harbor, Md.

The first tranche is what the SDA calls the Warfighter Immersion Layer to give the DOD a way to test out the new systems. The majority of the Tranche 0 satellites, 20 of 28, are for data transport using Link 16, the military’s standard tactical data network. The SDA hopes all of Tranche 0 will be in orbit by June.
The new satellites will “demonstrate low latency connectivity for laser communication” as well as the first ever use of the Link 16 tactical data network directly from space, Tournear said. Bringing Link 16 into space would allow service members to communicate further—important in the vast Indo-Pacific region that is the DOD’s new primary focus.

“Tranche 1, which begins launching in just 18 months, will actually be the first initial warfighting capability,” Tournear said “At that point, so now we’re talking in 2025, we’ll be able to have the ability to take the fight to regional theater and bring these technologies to bear.”

Pues las posibilidades de que se joda son casi todas.
Cuidado, que no es critica. Es que estas cosas van asi. A mi no me preocupa absolutamente nada que el cohete explote a los siete segundos del lanzamiento. A mi, lo que me preocupa es que despues de un "evento de desemsamblaje no programado" se decida que no merezca la pena seguir porque el programa no funciona.
Repitamos, lo normal es que el primer cohete nunca funcione. Que estas cosas van asi. Que no pasaria nada. Que lo importante es tener el siguiente paso preparado. A ver si somos sensatos y a ver si nos dejamos de "españoladas" con estas cosas, que aqui el problema es que nos conocemos....
Revisad cuantos cohetes de estos han funcionado a la primera, vereis que risas.
