摘要

Satellite fleet operator SES said it is likely to trade its midyear launch aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket for a slot later in the year rather than be the first to fly a Falcon 9 with Merlin engines adjusted for improved thrust. The company's decision is unrelated to Hawthorne, California-based SpaceX's ongoing effort to win U.S. Air Force certification to bid against United Launch Alliance of Denver on military launches. But SES's internal debate -the company said no formal decision had been made -shows the often complicated trade-offs each organization, government or commercial, must make before signing up with a launch service provider. NASA, which is working through its own Falcon 9 certification, has already delayed a planned Falcon 9 launch this spring until later in the year in part to wait for the certification process to complete.
