With the momentum of the third "Star -ware spacecraft" test in Texas, the momentum launching gradually enhanced, and SpaceXs Falcon 9 rockets are constantly refreshing the record.Although the Falcon 9 is much smaller than the Star Shipping, it is the only medium -sized lift rocket in the United States that can be reused.The latest task of SpaceX (SpaceX) is to send 22 "Starlink" satellites from Van Dangbao Air Force Base, California.Flying and landing again 19 times.
The latest launch of the Space Exploration Technology Company (SpaceX) sends 22 "Starlink" satellites into space. This is a routine launch.Nearly midnight, from California.This marks the increasingly frequent launch activities on the West Coast, and it is also the 17th launch mission of SpaceX this year.This launch is also the 311 launch of SpaceX to date, consolidating the position of Falcon 9 as the main carrier -carrier rocket of the Rockets headquarters in California.
The last Falcon 9 mission of SpaceX was performed for a state -owned telecommunications company in Indonesia, which is different from the star chain launch of the low Earth orbit (Leo).It sent satellites into the Earth synchronization track.Because SpaceX provides media reports for partnerships, in the Indonesian satellite mission, the company also shared after launch that this marks the 300th successful task of Falcon 9 so far.
Falcon No. 9 is not only responsible for sending satellites into space, but also the only American Rockets that can meet the National Aerospace Agency (NASA) manned launch requirements.SpaceX regularly use Falcon 9 to send astronauts to the International Space Station (ISS), and use this reusable rocket to transport goods to the space station.
SpaceX Company uses a checkpoint set up during the lifeline of the Falcon 9 for maintenance.One of the greatest weaknesses of Falcon No. 9 in reusable use comes from its fuel choice.Rockets use rocket pushing agent 1 (RP-1) or kerosene, and the pushing agent will produce viscous smoke when burning indoor.During the renovation, SpaceX must clean the engine to obtain flight certification.
The latest "Star Chain" launch of Falcon 9 is the successful launch of the Rockets to date, and it is also the 22nd "Meilin" engine on the Rockets.Compared with the "Raptor" engine used by SpaceXs "interstellar spaceship" rocket, the "Merlin" engine is proven to be very reliable during testing and operation.It is also one of the most important engines in the industry. This achievement is due to SpaceX chooses to use ultra -low temperature and high -density pushing agents on rockets.The higher the weight ratio, the higher the efficiency of the engine. During the flight, it can exert the power that exceeds several times its weight.
After completing the successful launch task of the 301st time, SpaceXs booster 19 landed on the 19th, becoming another booster to create a new record.Considering SpaceXs Rocket Launch Plan in 2024, several milestones under the "Falcon" should be the 20th Rockets reuse (if SpaceX feels no problem) and the 300th rail -class rocket helper landing.
