Bulgaria's first geostationary satellite to orbit

Space technology expedition SpaceX of the United States has successfully launched Bulgaria's first geostationary satellite to orbit using a two-time rocket.

Falcon 9 carrying BulgariaSat-1 satellite was launched from Kennedy Space Center in Florida state on June 24 (Vietnam time). Only about 8 minutes after leaving the launch pad, the first floor of the rocket successfully landed on a pedestal floating above the Pacific Ocean.

An official from SpaceX called it the "most difficult task ever".

BulgariaSat-1 satellite will provide information and television services in Balkan countries.

It is expected that Bulgaria Satat-1 will provide information and television services in Balkan countries and many other European regions for at least 15 years.

This is the second time this California-based conglomerate reuses a space booster, which saves significant costs in space missions.

For the first time, the used Falcon 9 rocket carried the communication satellite of SES (based in Luxembourg) launched into orbit in March 2017, helping to fulfill the mission of supplying food and other necessary items for the US National Security Agency (NSA) last April.

Earlier, in January 2017, the Falcon 9 Vandenbergmang air base by satellite of Iridium was launched from California.

Founded in 2002, SpaceX is under the management of technology billionaire Elon Musk.

Currently this private corporation is one of the leading enterprises in space transport and is a partner of the US Aerospace Agency (NASA).

SpaceX has long been intending to expand into rocket technology by developing rockets that can be reused after every spacecraft launch, saving millions of dollars for each launch.
