Falcon launch on May 4 for a new 9th is expected to try sea recovery

Falcon launch on May 4 for a new 9th: is expected to try sea recovery

  April 27, Beijing time, according to technology blog TechCrunch reported, on April 8 in the Atlantic offshore platform successfully for the first time a "soft landing", the "Falcon 9th" rockets will be launched again. Noteworthy is that United States space exploration company SpaceX is expected once again to "Falcon 9th" recovery at sea.

  SpaceX confirmed that the company is tentatively scheduled for United States Eastern time on May 4 1:22 (22:22 May 3, Beijing time) using the "Falcon 9th" rocket, Japan launched a communications company a orbit approximately 22000 miles (about 35,406-kilometer) communication satellites, launch window time is 2 hours. And that's only from the first successful SpaceX company sea recovery "Falcon 9th" rocket in less than three weeks.

  As "Falcon 9th" rocket launch trajectory of May 4 up to 22000 miles, thus accompanying landing experiments may be more challenging. In order to be able to put satellites into a higher orbit, launched on May 4, "Falcon 9th" rocket first stage faster acceleration, this may to SpaceX's "soft landing" experiment caused more trouble.

  On April 8, the SpaceX company "Falcon 9th" rocket from the Cape Canaveral Air Force station launch in Cape Canaveral, Florida, the "Dragon" spaceship to the international space station and the international space station in low orbit, about 250 miles off the ground (about 402-kilometer). A few minutes after it was launched, the first stage of the rocket platform, the first successful landing on the Atlantic sea. Lunatik iWatch frame

  Then, SpaceX will this gold "Falcon 9th," rocket loaded in a car super long of trailer Shang, from 18 miles outside of card na dimension pulled, angle (Cape Canaveral) shipped to SpaceX set in Florida Kennedy Space Center, then transfer to SpaceX of hangar in for series check and ignition test, judge it of State whether keep intact, whether can for second times launches.

  Second heaven

  SpaceX's Chief Executive, ailong·masike (Elon Musk) has previously said that this "Falcon 9th" prepares an RX launch vehicle as early as in May, it will become the first second God of SpaceX launch vehicles.

  Up to now, the SpaceX company has successfully recovered the two "Falcon 9th" rocket, a last December on the land to a "hard landing" recovery, one was on April 8 on the barge to a "soft landing" recovery.

  But SpaceX recovered two "Falcon 9th" rocket may face different fates. Mr MASKEY said in December last year, in a "hard landing" recovery "Falcon 9th" will not again take on new missions, "I think we may go back to retain the rockets, after all, it was unique, it was our first recycling rocket. "Mr MASKEY said.
