The government shutdown forced the delayed rocket launch





TWO weeks the US government shutdown has taken place, the impact is wide. In addition to having an impact with many federal government employees who are forced to take holidays that they have not planned or are forced to keep working even without pay, this situation has also stopped many government and private programs.

The American space program is an example of an institution that was seriously affected by the cessation of the operation of the American government. Companies that want to launch rockets are affected. According to Space News, Aerospace, which scheduled the January 5 launch for the SARGE sub-rocket, had to be postponed.

Exos Aerospace requires the federal government to examine its licenses. If the government is open to business, corporate adjustments cannot be a problem, but closure forces changes in the project.

The operations director said, "The FAA does not support the amendment of licenses to change, so we eliminate the possibility of reducing wind-based washing restrictions on our licenses.

To prepare for such a situation, the company has asked to modify the license to reduce the possibility of version cleaning.

The launch setting can be very expensive, the value of helium for missiles is expensive. That is, the delay in launching is the smartest step.

Until now, it was unclear when the government closure would end, it was not clear when Axis would have the opportunity to launch missiles.

In the future, other companies may face the same problem, including larger exchanges like SpaceX.***
