SpaceX first supplied ISS with re-used spacecraft and missiles

The newly reused Dragon spacecraft has successfully launched 2,000kg of supplies.

On December 15, SpaceX achieved an important achievement in its history. For the first time, Elon Musk's aerospace company successfully launched both reusable missiles and spacecraft .

Moreover, this is not a test launch. This launch of the CRS-13 has a mission to resupply the International Space Station (ISS). This shows that NASA has great confidence in SpaceX's reuse technology.

CRS-13 was launched at Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Base.

The launch position is also very noticeable. CRS-13 was launched at Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Base, where the Falcon 9 missile exploded in September 2016. Telling that disaster, this is the first time SpaceX launched missiles here and it marks the remarkable recovery and progress of the company run by CEO Elon Musk.

In this launch, SpaceX used a Falcon 9 rocket that was used for the previous ISS resupply mission and a reused Dragon spacecraft to minimize costs. This is the first time the company has used both missiles and spacecraft to reuse in one launch.

will bring 2,000kg of goods to ISS. These goods include supplies for the station and research equipment for astronauts. Among the devices there are two sensors used to monitor the amount of space trash surrounding ISS and measure the amount of sunlight coming to Earth.

The launch marks an important step for SpaceX, which shows that they are capable of learning from past mistakes and demonstrating their ability to perform missions with a higher level of reuse. After this launch, SpaceX will focus on preparing for the big rocket launch.
