SpaceX ships with a tight grid of missile shells falling into the sea

Ms Tree, the ship was improved by SpaceX to a dedicated vehicle, successfully taking the shell piece of the Falcon 9 missile falling into the Atlantic today.

Ms Tree, the ship was improved by SpaceX into a specialized vehicle, successfully taking the shell piece of the Falcon 9 missile falling into the Atlantic on August 7.

SpaceX launches Falcon 9 with the AMOS-17 information satellite of Israel Spacecom company from Cape Canaveral Air Station, Florida State, USA, at 7h23 on August 7 (Hanoi time). The first floor of this rocket is successfully reused. The previous two launches took place in July and November last year.

SpaceX successfully captured part of the rocket shell when it fell into the Atlantic Ocean.

In order to ensure the 6.5-ton AMOS-17 satellite was brought to the right height, the rocket had to use all the fuel. Therefore, the first floor has no fuel to return to the previous ones. It fell into the sea, ending its mission.

Meanwhile, the AMOS-17 flies to the geostationary orbit and then to the target orbit and begins to operate as planned. This information satellite will provide services to many areas of the Middle East, Africa and Europe.

The first floor of the Falcon 9 is irrevocable, but SpaceX succeeds in capturing part of the missile shell when it falls into the Atlantic. This is a cover used to protect satellites when launched into space, consisting of two halves. Train Ms. Tree used a net to catch half of the shell, the other half fell into the sea. SpaceX thinks it will try to salvage it with another dedicated ship.

This is not the first time SpaceX has recovered a satellite protection cover. Ms. Tree had successfully received half of such a shell in June. This revocation was intended to serve the purpose of reusing SpaceX's missile components.
