The first test launch attempt for the Falcon 9 launch vehicle is set for Friday, June 4, 2010. A second launch may be attempted on Saturday, June 5, 2010.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

From the SpaceX press release:
“It\u2019s important to note that since this is a test launch, our primary goal is to collect as much data as possible, with success being measured as a percentage of how many flight milestones we are able to complete in this first attempt. It would be a great day if we reach orbital velocity, but still a good day if the first stage functions correctly, even if the second stage malfunctions. It would be a bad day if something happens on the launch pad itself and we\u2019re not able to gain any flight data.”<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Rocket science is hard.<\/p>\n

A webcast of the event will be available<\/a> starting 20 minutes prior to the opening of the launch window, which is at 11:00 AM Eastern. A user guide of the Falcon 9 launch vehicle is available here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I wish you the best of luck, SpaceX! I will keep my fingers crossed…<\/p>\n
