>>>Commercial spacecraft can go to ISS in late March
" Simulations are going on," said NASA space station director Mike Suffredini in a press conference.
"From now until the time of the April 30 release there is a lot of work to do. But it seems that everything is still going on schedule. The success or failure of commercial flight into the universe will not be affected by the conclusion. Results of a single flight, " he said.
SpaceX spokesperson Kirstin Grantham said NASA has not yet passed the final launch. However, she said NASA will do this after receiving the Flight Preparedness Report, scheduled for completion on April 16.
Dragon spacecraft
NASA's space station director said that if the SpaceX team got into trouble it would be normal.
He judged commercial flight into space not only to enter the Earth's low orbit, but also to overcome the complexity and difficulty of connecting spacecraft together in space.
Under the plan, the Dragon spacecraft will be the first private ship to connect to the ISS, which is expected to take place in February but is delayed for technical reasons.
SpaceX, the company that produced Dragon and is owned by the founder of PayPal online payment company Elon Musk, went into history when launching the Dragon ship into space in December 2010, becoming a trading company. The first commercial takes the spacecraft into space and back.
SpaceX and several companies competing in the construction of spacecraft can help NASA ship and astronauts to ISS, after the US space agency for space shuttle "retired" last year.
SpaceX's goal in the next flight was to fly through ISS at a distance of 3 km, before allowing the Dragon to gradually approach and connect to the station with a robot arm.
After a successful connection test, Dragon will separate from the space station to fall back to the Pacific Ocean outside California state.
