For the first time in history, SpaceX successfully launched Falcon 9 reusable missiles
Elon Musk's SpaceX successfully launched a space ship with a used Falcon 9 rocket, and landed it on the "Of Course I Still Love You" landing platform, marking the milestone. Important in the history of the universe.
Previously, SpaceX only succeeded in landing new Falcon 9 missiles. This is the first time in human history, a rocket has been reused and launched back into space, opening up a new revolution of the aerospace industry, greatly reducing the cost of traveling in. Space.
Around 5:30 am on March 31, 2017 (Vietnam time), the launch took place at the launching pad Pad 39A in the Kennedy Space Center with very favorable weather conditions. The launch has successfully delivered the geostationary satellite SES-10 to orbit in space.
The Falcon 9, is a 70-meter 2-stage rocket, with the first floor designed to be reusable, while the second is not.
The re-used rocket was a rocket launched by SpaceX last April to transport cargo to the ISS international space station and successfully landed on the landing zone on a sea vessel. SpaceX has refurbished and used it today.
Launching a spacecraft into space is costly and time consuming because most of the previous boosters were designed to completely burn when separated from the spacecraft and returned to the Earth's atmosphere. Thus, Musk wants to develop a reusable rocket to reduce the cost of space travel. A Falcon 9 booster can be reused 10-20 times.
According to SpaceX, how to re-use boosters, which helps reduce 30% of the cost of a launch, from $ 60 million to $ 40 million. But at this point they only offer a 10% discount for customers who want to launch a ship that uses a booster.
Successful launch of the Falcon 9 boosters today marks SpaceX's fourth successful launch this year.
