SpaceX successfully landed missiles in California

Safely bringing missiles back to the ground is part of the strategy set by Space Exploration Technologies (SpaceX) of US billionaire Elon Musk to reduce launch costs and gain market share.

According to Bloomberg, SpaceX has launched a commercial satellite for Argentina on October 7, marking its 17th mission this year. SpaceX has had a steady stream of success, in contrast to the situation at Tesla, which is also founded and operated by Elon Musk.

Take off from Vandenberg Air Force Base on California's central coast at more than 19 pm 7 October. About 8 minutes after takeoff, the first part of the rocket returned to earth and landed at Vandenberg. This is the first time SpaceX missiles launched from the California base returned to the ground. The second part of the missile will deploy SAOCOM 1A, Argentina's earth image satellite, about 12 minutes after the rocket is launched.

Safely bringing the rocket head back to Earth is part of SpaceX's strategy of reducing launch costs and gaining market share. The company has recovered its boosters several times, both on land in Florida and offshore.

Mr. Musk is the CEO, chairman and largest shareholder of SpaceX and Tesla, two businesses are pushing the technology frontier but are also no less noisy. The valuation of SpaceX increased to $ 28 billion after a successful launch of the rocket launcher, making it the third-largest venture capital-backed startup in the United States, after Uber Technologies and Airbnb. SpaceX completed a record of 18 missions in 2017, on track to exceed that record this year.

SpaceX has a contract to transport American astronauts to follow part of the 'Commercial Crew' program with. SpaceX's first flight was scheduled to take place in January, while the first flight with astronauts took place in June next year.

In August, SpaceX staff had the opportunity to meet the crew to fly over by SpaceX. Last month, Mr. Musk announced that Japanese billionaire Yusaku Maezawa plans to fly around the moon on BX's missile BFR in 2023.
