SpaceX successfully launched Dragon 2 ship
Around the dawn of Vietnam time, SpaceX launched a test launch of the Dragon 2 spacecraft, a premise for the company to bring astronauts into space in 2017.
SpaceX successfully launched Dragon 2, which will bring people to space in 2017
SpaceX's test this time was conducted at Cape Canaveral, Florida.
Dragon 2 spacecraft is designed to bring astronauts into space, with 8 SuperDraco engines . This test is also aimed at assessing the performance of this new propulsion by SpaceX. After being successfully launched to a height of about 1.6 km, the Dragon 2 was dropped into the sea with the support of 3 large umbrellas. The whole experiment only lasted 90 seconds.
Inside the Dragon 2, a number of sensors were also installed to assess how the conditions inside the ship during the launch process affected the astronauts inside.SpaceX will continue to conduct a second test later this year. The next test launch will be much more difficult, as the Dragon 2 will have to be separated from the Falcon 9 boosters to fly into Earth orbit.
SpaceX is gradually moving closer to making a complete change in the aerospace industry. When this private company continuously carried out tests involving re-used missiles and spacecraft to bring people into space . These initial successes promise a very positive future when the cost of flying into space will be much cheaper than today.
Elon Musk also showed his ambition to conquer the universe. When national aerospace agencies such as NASA do not have many breakthrough studies in bringing people into space in recent times, the fact that private companies dare to think like SpaceX will be hy new hope of humanity.
