Falcon 9 missiles bring satellites into orbit, safely back to Earth

On August 14, SpaceX (USA) Falcon 9 spacecraft returned to Earth successfully at the first stage on an unmanned ship on the Pacific after taking a guard Japanese telecom goes into orbit.

This year, California-based SpaceX has conducted a total of six missile recall tests, including one grounding and five unmanned navigators on the sea and only one recovery. June is a failure.

Everything went smoothly in the first phase when the missile approached perpendicularly about 9 minutes after landing on the unmanned vessel, which was anchored on the sea, which was built as a docking station on Thai Binh. Ocean.

The test of bringing missiles back to Earth after introducing probes to the space station is part of Space X's efforts to produce rockets to be re-used perfectly.

If tested successfully, the company hopes to drastically reduce shipping costs to space.

Normally, these missiles can only be used once, after completing that task, they catch fire and fall into the sea.

Estimated, each Fakcon 9 rocket worth $ 60 million, while fuel costs for each launch to orbit is $ 200,000.

JCSAT-16 is Space X's second telecommunications satellite launched this year, which provides a wider range of space services such as image loading, data transfer in Asian and Russian countries, Oceania, Middle East and North America.

At this point, the second phase of Falcon 9 is scheduled to launch at 1:26 am (local time) from Cape Canaveral air base in Frorida, bringing the JCSAT-16 probe into space.

Founded in 2002, SpaceX is under the management of technology billionaire Elon Musk. Currently this private corporation is one of the leading companies in space transport and a partner of NASA.

SpaceX has long been planning to expand into rocket technology by developing rockets that can be reused after every spacecraft launch. This ambition will help the private space corporation save millions of dollars for each launch.
