I didn’t envision this flight using a cargo Dragon…

So if it’s using a Dragon what makes it a Northrop Grumman mission?

I’d like to believe it’s the wrong picture…

What I envisioned was a Cygnus inside the fairings of an F9. Which, if true, will be something wild to see

To answer your question, if they do use a Cargo Dragon, I would think the $$, packing and processing by NG would put their stamp on the launch.

Maybe @Hunterdc1 has some info?

I spent a good amount of time yesterday trying to find where the property NASASpaceflight owns is down there in McGregor.

 

Wouldn’t it just be the Spacex site, or is there more than one Spacex site in McGregor?

The mission patch indicates the same

I wonder if an F9 is cheaper for NG to rent than developing, building and operating the new Antares 300?

 

No, NASASpaceflight is a YouTube channel. They have Starbase Live, McGregor Live and Space Coast Live.

It's foggy today, but they show all the Raptor and Merlin engine testing.

 

Exactly, so why were you looking for their property in regards to a Spacex booster?

 

Ha lol, he finally got to use flamey end up

Amazing pic btw…. Every lander should have one of these tiny rovers to deploy

I was looking to see if I could pinpoint the property NASASpaceflight purchased in McGregor, TX to see what the name of the holding company or whatever they used to buy the land, is. That way, I can do some research into that company/entity/person.

Are you sure they purchased it vs leasing?

 

NSF Actual, Chris Berghart, has said several times on different live streams and Raptorsides that all of the support they receive from the YouTube channel has allowed them to purchase land in Texas to set up cameras to capture the SpaceX McGregor operations.
