SpaceX has gone down in history with the highly successful Falcon 9 reusable missile launcher

For the first time in history, SpaceX will use a used rocket to put the satellite into orbit. This is considered a turning point in the field of aerospace, significantly saving costs in space missions.

This is an ambitious plan that has been cherished by SpaceX for a long time and it is expected that SapceX 's Falcon 9 rocket will be launched into space at 18.27 minutes on March 30 (local time), ie 5 hours 27 minutes March 31 morning (Vietnam time), from the launch yard of Cape Canaveral base, Florida state (USA).

Falcon 9 will put a communication satellite of SES (based in Luxembourg) into a geostationary orbit at a distance of 35,000km from Earth.

Falcon 9 missiles leave the launch pad.

Unlike previous launches, in this 9th Falcon missile, SpaceX will re-use the first floor of 9 engines (also known as pushers) that were used in the launch of the unmanned Dragon spacecraft in the year. last year, and then took down safety on a "special unmanned ship" on the ocean.

Over the years, SpaceX has achieved an outstanding level of technical innovation, controlling grounded thrusters, or on the water surface, vertically after completing the space mission. So far, eight SpaceX boosters have returned to Earth intact.

According to SpaceX Director Elon Musk, in addition to taking advantage of the development of new missiles, the company will also take advantage of rocket-propelled parts for automotive and aircraft components. The use of used rocket parts will help SpaceX save up to 30% in cost, instead of spending an average of over $ 61 million for each new Falcon 9 missile launch.

However, the above plan also poses many concerns for both customers and even SpaceX. In a report last April, global investment bank Jefferies International expressed doubts about safety in launches when using used missile components.
