The Falcon-9 boosters landed on the launch in the sea failed

SpaceX's Falcon-9 rocket (USA) on January 17 after launching and sending Jason-3 satellite into orbit and returning to Earth, straightening down on a deck outside the Pacific but broken 1 more responding to the landing failed.

According to the Los Angeles Times, earlier in December 2015, the rocket surprised everyone when they launched into space and returned, landing vertically in a position near where it was launched. This opens up the prospect that Falcon-9 missiles will be used multiple times to launch satellites instead of being used only once like other missiles today.

However, this is the third time the failure of the missile landing on the seafloor has failed.

The billionaire Elon Musk (owner SpaceX and owner of Tesla electric car) wrote on Twitter that the speed of the missile landing was very good, unfortunately one of its 4 landing gear was broken when contacting the sea landing. causing the rocket to fall down to this landing and explode, badly damaged.

At 10:42 am on January 17 (Los Angeles, USA), Falcon-9 boosters from Vandenberg Air Base (north of Los Angeles, California) opened fire into the air, carrying satellites. Jason-3 ocean surveillance of Europe and America. After separating the 1st floor, the satellite entered orbit at an altitude of 1,336km, the rest of the missile (as high as a 14-storey building) returned to the earth, intending to land on an airstrip outside the Pacific, how San Diego (California) is about 360km to the west.

The landing of the Falcon-9 missile should have been a success similar to what was done on December 22, 2015, when the rocket slowly descended to the floating floating deck, the four landing gear below. Unburnt the rocket to stand on the floor when landing.

However, one of the four landing gear was not fixed, causing the missile after landing on the floor to lose its balance because there were only three left, and collapsed to the floor, exploding.

Although it failed, it was also a remarkable success for SpaceX with the idea of ​​recalling boosters for reuse. SpaceX had also failed twice before to send missiles down to the sea landing in the Atlantic Ocean. On December 22, 2015, the Falcon-9, after launching the satellite, returned to a successful vertical landing at the specified location, about 10km from the launch site.
