SpaceX Successfully Launched The AsiaSat 6 Satellite

SpaceX Falcon 9 lifts off with the AsiaSat 6 satellite.

Telecommunications company AsiaSat now has a new satellite in orbit, its second in less than two months. Its new satellite, AsiaSat 6, was successfully delivered into orbit by a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket that launched at 1:00am EDT from Cape Canaveral, FL. Contact with the satellite was confirmed about an hour after liftoff.

This launch was originally intended to occur on August 27. However, due to a failure of an experimental SpaceX rocket during a test flight, the launch was delayed. The experimental rocket apparently malfunctioned because of a sensor error. The company stated that the same error wasnt likely to occur in its regular Falcon 9 rocket, but wanted to triple-check its systems to be certain.

AsiaSat 6 is based on the Space Systems/Loral 1300 platform. The communications satellite is equpped with 28 C-band transponders. These will be delivering video and broadband signals to AsiaSats customers throughout the Asia-Pacific region. The anticipated life of the satellite will be about 15 years.

SpaceX has one more launch this month. On September 19, its Dragon capsule will be launched from a Falcon 9 on its way to the International Space Station.

For more planned space launches this month, please see our September launch schedule.

When Babies Become Commodities

Several recent cases involving the rejection of babies by people who were using the services of surrogate mothers have drawn attention to the alarming ethical shortfalls of the surrogate industry.

The first example came from Australia, where a couple who had contracted a surrogacy agreement with a Thai woman, Pattharamon Janbua, rejected one of the two babies she carried because the child had Down syndrome.

The couple asked that the mother abort the baby and when she refused they only accepted the healthy baby, leaving the surrogate with the other one.

Later, it emerged that the father of the Australian couple had previously been convicted of the abuse of two girls under the age of 10 and was sentenced to three years in jail.

The news raised concern in Australia over the use by sex offenders and pedophiles of surrogacy arrangements in Thailand and other countries.

News of the Australian case prompted an American woman to reveal a similar experience. In 2012 Andrea Ott-Dahl agreed to bear a child for a lesbian couple but it turned out the baby she was carrying had Down syndrome, Yahoo reported Aug. 20.

She refused the request of the couple to abort the fetus and went on to keep the child for herself.

A few days later, on Aug. 26, the Daily Mail newspaper reported a similar case in England, where a surrogate mother, only identified as Jenny, decided to take for her own a disabled daughter who she had been bearing for another couple, as they did not want to accept what the mother of the couple said was a dribbling cabbage.
