    SpaceX to launch first re-used rocket for cutting costs
    Credits:
  • Targeting another first in the space industry, Elon Musk's SpaceX is planning to launch a Falcon 9 rocket that has been used before.

    According to the company, it aims to cut costs by approximately 30% by reusing rockets.

    The used Falcon 9 will be blasted off from the Kennedy Space Centre in Florida and deliver a communications satellite into orbit.

    Credits:
  • The Falcon 9 is a two-stage rocket comprising a booster and a payload delivery module.

    The booster, known as the first stage, has a thrust of 1.5 billion pounds at sea level.

    A composite structure known as the interstage facilitates separation of the two stages. The second stage is the payload delivery module.

    It has 19 successful launches to its name.

  • Space Exploration Technologies Corporation commonly known as SpaceX, in a revolutionary feat, successfully landed its unmanned Falcon-9 rocket upright after delivering 11 commercial data-relay satellites into orbit.

    The two-stage Falcon-9 took off from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station at 8.29 pm local time and the main booster returned to Earth 10 minutes later, landing at a site 6 miles from the launch site.

  • Do you know?

    The first rocket landing after launch

  • In November 2015, private spaceflight company Blue Origin successfully landed its New Shepard rocket after launch. However, the New Shepard is a suborbital rocket designed to reach altitudes of 100 km, whereas Falcon-9 can reach altitudes of 90,000 km.

    Credits:
  • The rocket industry, as it stands now, loses millions of dollars in discarded machinery and sophisticated rocket components after each launch.

    SpaceX CEO Elon Musk likened the waste to discarding Boeing 747 jets after a single use.

    The ability of rockets to return to earth and be re-used for future missions would cut costs significantly and revolutionize the growing space industry.
