Hi all.
I see Space X have an initial launch period scheduled for flight 4.
The web site says anytime from Tuesday to Thursday (next week?) from their Kwajalein Atoll base in the Pacific.
After the unfortunate loss of flight 3 due to a very minor glitch, does anyone know if the planned RazakSAT is flying of flight 4?
Would be a shame if it isn't and the payload is a mass dummy only.
Thanks
David

Previously Elon had said that SpaceX had promised RazakSAT that there would be at least one successful F1 mission before they were flown. I have not heard of anyone else being signed up for the forth flight.

My understanding is that Flight 4, has a mass dummy. RazakSAT were promised that they would fly after at least 1 fully successful mission.
I'll be pleased just to see SpaceX get to orbit :)
