Spacex celebrates another successful launch of a commercial satellite that happened on Thursday, June 17, at 12:09 pm EDT. A Falcon 9 Falcon rocket 9 previously released from the space spatial complex 40 at the Cape Canaverral Space Station in Florida, pressing the GPS III 05 space vehicle and orbit. The same reinforcement of Falcon 9 used in this mission was previously flew to put the GPS III and the spatial vehicle 04 in orbit.
Spacex has also confirmed that after placing the satellite in orbit, the first stage of Falcon 9 landed successfully on its unmanned aircraft boat “Read the instructions” in the Atlantic Ocean. About a minute and 12 seconds after the launch, the rocket came at the time of maximum mechanical tension. At two minutes and 32 seconds after the launch, the main engine of the first stage was cut and three seconds later, the first and the second stage of the rocket separated.
The engine of the second stage began successfully two minutes and 43 seconds after the launch, with the fairing deployed three minutes and 20 seconds after the launch. Six minutes and 18 seconds after the launch, the Rocket of the first stage began its entrance.
Eight minutes and 33 seconds after the launch, the first stage landed successfully on the drone ship. One hour of 29 minutes, and 20 seconds after launch, the GPS III 05 space vehicle was successfully implemented. The GPS satellite will improve GPS capabilities on Earth with improved redundancy and more accurate information.
Spacex has had a great year that places multiple useful loads in orbit and has been particularly successful to reuse its first-stage rockets and land them successfully. Unfortunately, it has not also been with its much larger and more powerful spacecraft rocket tests, which has failed spectacularly several times, resulting in explosions and lost vehicles. Spacex continues to maintain that loss of vehicles is expected in early test programs.
