INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
SpaceX is sending of one of newest Falcon 9 rockets back into space for the second time this early morning United States time.
TheFalcon
9 ‘Block 5& rocket is designed to be able to go into space and return 100 times, but these are early days
The rocket leaving today is taking Indonesian satellite Merah Putih in what will be its second trip — a re-flight — into space
If all goes well and theSpaceX robotic drone successfully collects the rocket off the Florida coast as planned, thenthis particular vehicle
will be the first Block 5 to manage a repeat lift-off following a previous trip in May.
The next major focus for the firm is to reduce the
preparation time and cost required between the relaunch of rockets
Obviously, there plenty of benefits for faster turnaround time and the cost-savings associated
But first thing is first and the vehicle out today could become the first Falcon 9 to go into space three times.
The launch happened a few
minutes ago, but you can keep up with progress via the SpaceX live feed above.
