SpaceX for the 9th time successfully launched missiles on the ISS station

With the 9th implementation of its noble mission in the process of developing science and technology, when successfully launched on the International Space Station (ISS) on July 18, SpaceX touched two titles. history of the world.

It has for the second time continued to complete the task of bringing back an orbital rocket booster for Cape Canaveral, the landing site in Florida. At the same time, SpaceX broke its previous record by making the most launches in a year - 7 brilliantly successful missions in 2016 alone.

Overall, these two record levels play a very important role and significance in demonstrating the success and potential of the rocket company operated by CEO Elon Musk, combining both elements between prestige Credit and quality - upgrading and improving the first missile model in a comprehensive and efficient manner, potentially continuing to be used many times, thereby dominating the aerospace industry at a cost as well as Leading productivity in the world.

The mission begins at 12:45 Eastern Standard Time (EST), which is intended to transport a Dragon spacecraft with 2.5 tons of essential cargo inside the compartment to the ISS Space Station. In addition to food, water and oxygen, the above equipment and aids also include a lot of NASA research tools in testing new space technologies and projects related to the body. human.

In addition, Dragon also brought a adapter, which was reserved for the ISS to install in the future for spacecraft that could be mounted more easily to the station. In fact, SpaceX was planning to bring it up last year, but unfortunately the Falcon 9 missiles crashed and exploded, causing the plan to be postponed for six months to calculate and improve further before it went public. The company decided to continue the process as expected. Moreover, the above combination is also an important factor for Elon Musk's achievements and projects for the next generation of spacecraft.

Although the main goal of this mission is to successfully transport the volume of goods needed to ISS, the experts and technologists in the world seem to focus more on the SpaceX event. Bring back the tanker at Cape Canaveral, which is where the company has successfully produced a modern missile that can be used as many times as mentioned. Specifically, this is the second time SpaceX has fulfilled its assigned mission (for the first time at the end of 2015 during a satellite launch). Besides, 3 other boosters are also said to have returned to success on sea landing facilities.

Successful landing of orbital missiles is the first step for the company's reuse process, as SpaceX can cut costs by 30% compared to normal (SpaceX's next launch only costs 62 million). USD, 40 million cheaper than other manufacturers).

In addition, Blue Origin, the manufacturer of aerospace technology founded by Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos, has also successfully developed a lighter, more portable reusable rocket model, but the range cannot compete with SpaceX's missile capabilities are built like Falcon 9. Anyway, they have announced that they will be releasing the full version soon with much better performance than the current product.

As for SpaceX, the company is also rushing and concentrating heavily on creating new generations of missiles. Despite being criticized and receiving many previous disappointments due to erratic delays, they are now leading the world, surpassing the record of 6 launches per year in 2014 and 2015. Also For 2016, SpaceX hopes they can reach 18 times. Meanwhile, SpaceX's biggest rival in the domestic market has only achieved a total of 5 launches to date in 2016.

SpaceX's plan is aimed at the frequency of rocket launchers up to . every week to confirm its quality and reputation with customers and partners. Especially when their year-end goal refers to such a significant number, it's easy to understand the "impatience" and hustle, especially when the company is gradually improving its technology and pumping system. Its advanced fuel, allowing missiles to fly to altitude and speed much faster than the present.
