Airborne 10.01.13: Orbital Docks, SpaceX Launches Upgraded Falcon9, Global R66s

Also: Honeywell Displays Suspect, Big 737MAX Order, Baker Follow-Up, Capt. Kirk v Branson

After a week's delay in orbit due to software hiccups, Orbital's Cygnus vehicle successfully docked at the ISS. The station's Expedition 37 crew reported the spacecraft -- loaded with about 1,300 pounds of cargo -- berthed Sunday morning at 8:44 a.m. EDT, following an 11-day journey to the orbiting laboratory.

And a little closer to earth, at least for a little while, a much modified version of SpaceX's Falcon 9 launched at Noon Sunday from Vandenberg AFB along the coast of California. A more larger powerful version of the now-experienced Falcon 9 launch vehicle placed a Canadian satellite into Earth orbit in what was labeled as a "nominal" launch. On September 15th, a pair of Robinson R66 Turbine helicopters landed at the Bunkovo Heliport, just outside of Moscow, marking the end of a six-week, Around-the-World Expedition. The historic flight was a first for the R66 and for Russia. All this... and MORE in today's episode of Airborne!!!
