Spacex celebrates another successful launch of a commercial satellite that occurred on Thursday, June 17 at 12:09 EDT. A FALCON A rocket 9 previously stolen from the complex Lodge space 40 at the Cape Canaveral Space Station in Florida, pushing the spatial vehicle GPS III 05 mission and orbit. The same Boster Falcon 9 used in this mission was previously stolen to put GPS III and the spatial vehicle 04 in orbit.
Spacex also confirmed that after placing the satellite in orbit, the Falcon 9 first step has successfully landed on its drone ship “just read the instructions” in the Atlantic Ocean. About a minute and 12 seconds after the launch, the rocket reached the moment of maximum mechanical stress. At two minutes and 32 seconds after the launch, the primary motor of first stage cut and three seconds later, the first and second steps of the separate rocket.
The second stage engine has started successfully two minutes and 43 seconds after launch, with the fairing deployed three minutes and 20 seconds after launch. Six minutes and 18 seconds after the launch, the first stadium rocket started its engraving.
Eight minutes and 33 seconds after the launch, the first step has been successfully landed on the drone vessel. One hour 29 minutes and 20 seconds after the launch, the GPS III 05 space vehicle has been successfully deployed. The GPS satellite will improve GPS capabilities on land with improved redundancy and more accurate information.
Spacex had a great year which poses several loads useful in orbit and was particularly successful in reuse of its first rockets and land them successfully. Unfortunately, he also not participated in his tests of the distances of distances much larger and more powerful, which failed dramatically several times, resulting in lost explosions and vehicles. SpaceX continues to maintain this loss of vehicles in advance test programs.
