SpaceX launched 2 Falcon 9 rockets: Elon Musk's aerospace company SpaceX has recently faced several failures one after the other. However, overcoming these difficulties, SpaceX successfully launched two Falcon 9 rockets on August 31. Through both missions, SpaceX has delivered a total of 42 Starlink internet satellites into orbit. In which the offshore landing of the first stage of each rocket has been successful.
There was failure before
In July, 20 Starlink satellites were damaged by a leak in the second stage of the Falcon 9. Then on August 27, the Polaris Dawn spacewalk mission had to be abandoned due to bad weather and rocket damage. Apart from this, the landing of the Falcon 9 rocket on August 28 also failed. In which 21 Starlink satellites were to be launched into orbit. However, after the mission failed, SpaceX tried again and created a record by successfully landing two Falcon 9 rockets on August 31.
SpaceX will bring back Sunita Williams
Astronauts Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore, who flew in a NASA-Boeing Starliner spacecraft on a mission to the International Space Station (ISS), will also be returned by SpaceX. NASA decided to bring both of them back with SpaceX's Crew Dragon spacecraft instead of Boeing Starliner. Williams and Wilmore will return to Earth with SpaceX's Crew-9 mission. Earlier, Elon Musk had also tweeted about this.
Two rockets were launched in 65 minutes
The special thing about SpaceX's Falcon 9 mission is that it launched two rockets in 65 minutes. With the success of this mission, SpaceX has made the whole world realize its strength in space. The company has achieved a major feat by launching two successful missions soon after the failure of August 28.
Features of the Falcon 9 rocket
The Falcon 9 is a reusable two-stage rocket. SpaceX designed it to reliably and safely deliver people and payloads to Earth orbit. The Falcon 9 is the world's first orbital reusable rocket. Therefore, mission costs are reduced by not having to frequently replace expensive parts in the rocket.
