Launches to Low Earth Orbit, like SpaceX's commercial resupply missions to the International Space Station (an altitude of about 250 miles), don't require the rocket to move as quickly as a GEO mission, and are more likely to have sufficient fuel to navigate back to land.

The center's sounding rocket launch pads, which have sent countless aircraft models and science experiments into suborbital space, sit on a six square-mile barrier island just a few hundred feet from the ocean, alongside two Virginia-owned pads used for satellite launches and ISS resupply runs.

Fierce fighting -- some of the most ferocious in the conflict's five-year history -- has raged around the southwestern Aleppo, particularly around the strategically crucial Al Ramouseh neighborhood, as the rebels launched a concerted push to break the siege and allow for the resupply of the encircled enclave.

The key ingredient here, per ISS U.S. National Laboratory COO Kenneth Shields, which was the contracting agency for Orbit Fab's refueling test, is that this method of resupply is totally out of spec in terms of how this process was designed to work on the ISS.

The Pakistanis also have important cards of their own to play if the Trump administration does amp up pressure on them -- which is the fact that Afghanistan is a landlocked country and the easiest air and land routes into Afghanistan to resupply US soldiers are thorough Pakistan.
