SpaceX celebrates other launches from commercial satellites that occur on Thursday, June 17, at 12:09 pm EDT. Falcon 9 rocket which was flown previously launched from the Space Lodge 40 complex at the Cape Canaveral Space Room Station in Florida, pushing GPS III vehicle space 05 mission and orbit. The same Falcon 9 booster used in this mission was previously flown to place GPS III and space vehicles 04 to orbit.
SpaceX has also confirmed that after placing a satellite to orbit, the first phase of Falcon 9 landed successfully on the drone ship “just read the instructions” in the Atlantic Ocean. About one minute and 12 seconds after the launch, the rocket reaches the peak mechanical stress moment. On two minutes and 32 seconds after the launch, the first stage engine was cut off, and three seconds later, the first and second phase of a separate rocket.
The second stage machine managed to start at two minutes and 43 seconds after the launch, with a fairing deployed three minutes and 20 seconds after the launch. Six minutes and 18 seconds after the launch, the first stage rocket starts the burning entry.
Eight minutes and 33 seconds after the launch, the first stage landed successfully on the drone ship. One hour 29 minutes, and 20 seconds after the launch, GPS III 05 space vehicle was deployed. GPS satellites will increase GPS capabilities on earth with increased redundancy and more accurate information.
SpaceX has a large year placing a few charges to orbit and has been very successful in reusing the rocket first stage and turn it on success. Unfortunately, it hasn’t had a good fade with starship rocket testing which is much bigger and stronger, which fails spectacularly repeatedly produces explosions and loss of vehicles. SpaceX continues to maintain that vehicle loss is expected in the initial testing program.
