ЦитироватьSES-10 LAUNCHING TO ORBIT ON SPACEX'S FLIGHT-PROVEN FALCON 9 ROCKET

Leading satellite operator will be world's first company to launch a geostationary satellite on a reusable rocket in Q4

201630 Aug 2016

(http://www.ses.com/22407858/SES_10_-_artist_rendering_71b1aa0ee9d70e9c27d4c356a1309acb7189cc5a.JPG)

LUXEMBOURG/ HAWTHORNE, CA, 30 August 2016 - SES (Euronext Paris and Luxembourg Stock Exchange: SESG) and SpaceX announced today they have reached an agreement to launch SES-10 on a flight-proven Falcon 9 orbital rocket booster.
The satellite, which will be in a geostationary orbit and expand SES's capabilities across Latin America, is scheduled for launch in Q4 2016. SES-10 will be the first-ever satellite to launch on a SpaceX flight-proven rocket booster.
SES-10 will be positioned at 67 degrees West, pursuant to an agreement with the Andean Community (Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador and Peru), and will be used for the Simón Bolivar 2 satellite network. With a Ku-band payload of 55 36MHz transponder equivalents, of which 27 are incremental, the multi-mission spacecraft is the first SES satellite wholly dedicated to Latin America. It will replace the capacity currently provided by SES's AMC-3 and AMC-4 satellites at that location, as well as bring additional capacity to Mexico, Central America, South America and the Caribbean. The high-powered, tailored and flexible beams will provide direct-to-home broadcasting, enterprise and mobility services.
"Having been the first commercial satellite operator to launch with SpaceX back in 2013, we are excited to once again be the first customer to launch on SpaceX's first ever mission using a flight-proven rocket. We believe reusable rockets will open up a new era of spaceflight, and make access to space more efficient in terms of cost and manifest management," said Martin Halliwell, Chief Technology Officer at SES. "This new agreement reached with SpaceX once again illustrates the faith we have in their technical and operational expertise. The due diligence the SpaceX team has demonstrated throughout the design and testing of the SES-10 mission launch vehicle gives us full confidence that SpaceX is capable of launching our first SES satellite dedicated to Latin America into space."
"Re-launching a rocket that has already delivered spacecraft to orbit is an important milestone on the path to complete and rapid reusability," said Gwynne Shotwell, President and Chief Operating Officer of SpaceX. "SES has been a strong supporter of SpaceX's approach to reusability over the years and we're delighted that the first launch of a flight-proven rocket will carry SES-10."
SES-10 is being built by Airbus Defence and Space and is based on the Eurostar E3000 platform. The satellite will utilise an electric plasma propulsion system for on-orbit manoeuvres and a chemical system for initial orbit raising and some on-orbit manoeuvres.

ЦитироватьПАРИЖ, 31 августа. /ТАСС/. Люксембургская спутниковая компания SES подписала соглашение с американской Space X Илона Маска о том, что до конца этого года уже побывавшая в космосе первая ступень ракеты-носителя Falcon 9 выведет на орбиту спутник SES. Об этом сообщило в среду AFP.

"Будучи первым коммерческим оператором спутниковой связи, осуществившим запуск ракеты с компанией SpaceX еще в 2013 году, мы рады вновь стать первыми в повторном полете в космос. Мы считаем, что многоразовые ракеты откроют новую эру космических полетов и сделают их более доступными и менее затратными", - заявил технический директор компании SES Мартин Халливелл.

В SES заявили, что телекоммуникационный многоцелевой спутник SES-10 будет выведен на геостационарную орбиту, чтобы расширить возможности компании в Южной Америке. Точная дата запуска не называется.

Falcon 9 - американская частная ракета космического назначения. Предназначена для запуска космического корабля многоразового использования Dragon и спутников различного назначения. Компанией SpaceX разработана технология, предусматривающая возвращение на Землю отработавшей первой ступени, оснащенной четырьмя раскладывающимися посадочными опорами для мягкого приземления. Спуск осуществляется с помощью торможения двигателей и парашюта. После посадки на специальную морскую платформу судна-робота первая ступень может использоваться повторно.

SpaceX (http://www.spacex.com) recently tested the previously-flown Falcon 9 (http://www.spaceflightinsider.com/hangar/falcon/) first stage assigned to send the SES-10 communications satellite into space. That mission will mark the first time the company has re-flown one of its recovered boosters.
The stage was tested (https://twitter.com/SpaceX/status/826598817864761344) in late January 2017 at SpaceX's rocket development and test facility in McGregor, Texas, by completing a static test fire in which all nine Merlin 1D engines were fired at once for a few seconds. The company tests all its Falcon 9 boosters here before shipping each to their designated launch areas, currently either Florida or California.

The SES-10 mission is currently looking to launch no earlier than early March 2017, after the CRS-10 Dragon capsule and EchoStar 23 communications satellite are launched on Feb. 14 and Feb. 28, respectively.
This particular stage was recovered (http://www.spaceflightinsider.com/organizations/space-exploration-technologies/return-spacex-falcon-9-ft-first-stage-return-port-canaveral/) in April 2016 after lofting the CRS-8 mission to the International Space Station. After propelling the second stage and payload out of Earth's atmosphere, the first stage made a propulsive landing on the deck of SpaceX's Of Course I Still Love You drone ship some 190 miles (300 kilometers) east of Cape Canaveral, Florida, in the Atlantic Ocean.
It was the first successful "at-sea" landing by a Falcon 9 booster and the second overall to be recovered.
Over the last few years, SpaceX has been actively working to propulsively land the first stage of its Falcon 9 rockets in order to inspect and eventually reuse them. The first successful landing occurred during the Orbcomm OG2 (http://www.spaceflightinsider.com/organizations/space-exploration-technologies/christmas-comes-early-for-spacex-falcon-9-returns-to-flight-with-orbcomm-og2-mission/) mission in December 2015. Since then, six more boosters were recovered both on land and at sea.
In May 2016, the company successfully landed a stage after a high-energy geostationary transfer orbit mission. SpaceX said that booster, which sent the JCSAT-14 (http://www.spaceflightinsider.com/organizations/space-exploration-technologies/japanese-jcsat-14-roars-orbit-spacex-falcon-9/) communications satellite to space, went through the harshest conditions it expects a recovered stage to go through.
The California-based company decided to use the JCSAT-14 booster as its "life leader (http://www.spaceflightinsider.com/organizations/space-exploration-technologies/spacex-tests-falcon-9-life-leader-mcgregor/)" and has since put it through numerous inspections and stress tests. Additionally, the stage was put through least seven full-duration test firings at McGregor. One of those firings can be seen in the video below.
The JCSAT-14 booster will not fly again.
According to Spaceflight Now (http://spaceflightnow.com/2017/02/03/spacex-rocket-tagged-for-reuse-test-fired-in-texas/), the booster that will be used for SES-10 will only be put through the standard preflight testing. This means the next step will be for it to be shipped to Cape Canaveral and integrated for launch.
SpaceX is taking the information it is learning from recovered boosters and modifying the design of the Falcon 9 to make full and rapid reusability easier. This new Falcon 9 Block 5 (http://www.spaceflightinsider.com/organizations/space-exploration-technologies/next-spacex-launch-may-one-of-the-last-expendable-falcon-9-booster/) is expected to fly no earlier than late 2017.

 ВАШИНГТОН, 17 фев – РИА Новости. Первый повторный полет ракеты-носителя Falcon 9 состоится уже в марте, сообщила в пятницу президент SpaceX Гвен Шортуэлл, подтвердив, что компания осуществит запуск коммерческого телекоммуникационного спутника для оператора SES.
"Мы собираемся отправить (в космос — ред.) уже летавшую ракету в марте с миссией SES 10", — сказала президент компании на пресс-конференции, посвященной предстоящему в субботу старту Falcon 9 с грузовой миссией к МКС.
По ее словам, запуск состоится со стартовой площадке на мысе Канаверал 39А, откуда в субботу будет совершен первый после окончания программы "Шаттл" космический старт.
Ранее в августе прошлого года базирующаяся в Люксембурге компания SES заявляла, что намерена запустить свой космический аппарат на уже побывавшей в космосе первой ступени ракеты-носителя Falcon 9.
SES также была первой коммерческой спутниковой компанией, осуществившей запуск аппарата на геостационарную переходную орбиту на ракете компании SpaceX в декабре 2013 года. SES 10 предназначен для передачи телевизионного сигнала в Мексике, странах Карибского бассейна, Центральной и Южной Америке.
Старт аппарата был запланирован на третий квартал 2016 года, но переносился из-за инцидента с ракетой в сентябре.
SpaceX, которая выполняет грузовые полеты к МКС по контракту с НАСА, а также осуществляет коммерческие запуски спутников, отрабатывает технологию многоразового использования ракеты-носителя, осуществляя посадки первой ступени Falcon 9 на космодром и на платформу в Атлантике. Компания уверена, что повторное использование первой ступени позволит удешевить космические полеты.

Launch preparations for the SES 10 communications satellite, the first spacecraft to ride a reused Falcon 9 booster to space, are on track for a late March blastoff fr om Florida, officials said.

The satellite, designed to broadcast video and television services across Latin America, was delivered to Cape Canaveral in January from its factory at Airbus Defense and Space in Toulouse, France.

Спойлер

Since its arrival in Florida, SES 10 has been prepped for liftoff inside a SpaceX clean room a few miles from launch pad 39A, wh ere the mission will blast off aboard a Falcon 9 rocket. Filling of the spacecraft with its supply of hydrazine fuel and nitrogen tetroxide oxidizer was completed Thursday, soon after SpaceX's last flight took off from pad 39A.

Officials said the SES 10 satellite was scheduled to be enclosed this weekend inside the two halves of the Falcon 9's nose cone, a composite fairing measuring 43 feet (13.1 meters) tall and 17 feet (5.2 meters) wide. The fairing protects the SES 10 spacecraft during final launch processing and the initial few minutes of flight through the dense lower atmosphere, then is shed once the rocket reaches space.

The rocket is also ready for final preflight tests after its delivery to Florida from SpaceX's test site in McGregor, Texas. The 15-story booster was cleaned, refurbished and test-fired at the Texas test facility after landing on a barge in the Atlantic Ocean following a space station cargo ship launch on April 8, 2016.

SpaceX president and chief operating officer Gwynne Shotwell said March 8 that the booster took around four months to refurbish after its first flight last April. SpaceX hopes to reduce that turnaround time to two months soon, and eventually to less than a day.

The SES 10 flight will be the first of six previously-flown Falcon rocket boosters SpaceX intends to re-fly this year, Shotwell said.

Two of the boosters reportedly might launch later this year on the first demo flight of SpaceX's Falcon Heavy rocket, which uses three Falcon rocket cores firing in unison to propel heavy payloads into orbit.

SES, a Luxembourg-based international telecom satellite operator, announced its agreement with SpaceX in August 2016 to send the SES 10 satellite to orbit on a Falcon 9 rocket with a reused first stage. The second stage and fairing are manufactured new.

While SpaceX and SES did not disclose terms of their contract for the SES 10 launch, Shotwell said last year the launch provider was offering a 10 percent discount for customers willing to fly their payloads on reused boosters.

That discount should become steeper on future flights, according to SpaceX officials. The company lists a regular commercial Falcon 9 flight at $62 million.

An SES official said just after Thursday's launch by SpaceX of the EchoStar 23 satellite that the SES 10 spacecraft and the Falcon 9 launcher set to launch were tracking no issues.

Before a two-day delay in EchoStar 23's launch due to high winds, SES 10's liftoff was scheduled for March 27. The launch window that day opens at 4:58 p.m. EDT (2058 GMT).

But officials expected the SES 10 launch to be moved back a couple of days after EchoStar 23's delay. Inspections of pad 39A following Thursday's launch were expected to give managers a better idea of how long SpaceX needs to ready the launch complex for another mission.

The transporter-erector at pad 39A was lowered after Thursday's launch. It will be rolled back to SpaceX's hangar at the southern perimeter of the pad for attachment of the two-stage Falcon 9, then returned to the pad for a hold-down engine firing around four days before liftoff.

The rocket will then go back to the hangar to receive the SES 10 satellite, and rolled out again to pad 39A on the eve of liftoff.

The SES 10 satellite will will weigh around 11,700 pounds (5,300 kilograms) at the time of launch, giving the Falcon 9's first stage enough fuel margin to attempt a landing on SpaceX's floating platform in the Atlantic Ocean.

A successful recovery is expected to give SpaceX better insight into the performance of the reused rocket.

ВАШИНГТОН, 19 марта. /Корр. ТАСС Дмитрий Кирсанов/. Частная американская компания SpaceX планирует предпринять первую в истории попытку запуска в космос уже использовавшейся ранее ракеты-носителя до конца текущего месяца.
Как сообщило в субботу специализированное американское сетевое издание Spaceflight Now (https://spaceflightnow.com/), этот старт ракеты-носителя Falcon 9, которую создает SpaceX, был намечен на 27 марта с космодрома на мысе Канаверал (штат Флорида). Однако, как ожидается, он будет сдвинут на пару дней из-за недавней отсрочки с запуском фирмой SpaceX спутника связи EchoStar XXIII. Данный аппарат был выведен на орбиту 16, а не 14 марта, как изначально предполагалось, с той же стартовой площадки на мысе Канаверал, с которой намечается произвести запуск уже побывавшей в космосе первой ступени носителя Falcon 9.
Ракета готова
По имеющимся сведениям, эта ракета готова к итоговым предполетным проверкам. Она находится на космодроме на мысе Канаверал, куда ее доставили с испытательного объекта компании SpaceX в городе Макгрегор (штат Техас). Там она была очищена, переоборудована, ее двигатели прошли огневые испытания. Данный носитель запускался в космос 8 апреля минувшего года, а затем приземлился на специально предназначенной для этого плавучей платформе в Атлантическом океане.
Между тем начальник пресс-службы SpaceX Джон Тейлор в беседе с корреспондентом ТАСС отказался называть точную дату старта. "Публично мы говорим только то, что нацеливаемся на запуск в конце марта", - сказал Тейлор. По его словам, Spaceflight Now "периодически выдает слухи за факты". "Иногда их догадки оказываются правильными, иногда - нет, а мы не занимаемся подтверждением слухов и предположений", - отметил Тейлор.
Первую ступень тяжелой ракеты Falcon 9 ее производитель хочет сделать многоразовой, что позволило бы существенно экономить при космических запусках. Компании уже неоднократно удавалось посадить первую ступень носителя после старта на свою морскую платформу. Тем не менее повторных запусков таких носителей до сих пор не производилось. В нынешнем году SpaceX, как заявила ранее ее президент Гуинн Шотуэлл, рассчитывает осуществить шесть пусков первых ступеней ракеты Falcon 9, побывавших в космосе.
Полезная нагрузка
В результате мартовского старта в космос должен быть выведен спутник связи SES 10. Этот аппарат доставлен на мыс Канаверал, где в эти выходные его должны заключить в головной обтекатель ракеты.
Коммерческие условия запуска не разглашаются. Впрочем, в прошлом году Шотуэлл признавала, что тем клиентам, которые готовы согласиться на применение уже использовавшегося носителя, SpaceX делает скидку в размере 10%. Полная стоимость пуска Falcon 9 составляет $62 млн. На подготовку использованной первой ступени к новому старту SpaceX в настоящее время тратит, по словам Шотуэлл, примерно четыре месяца, но планирует сократить этот срок до двух месяцев, а впоследствии и до одного дня.
Недавняя авария

Спойлер

11 сентября минувшего года во время пуска с мыса Канаверал ракета Falcon 9 с израильским спутником связи Amos-6 взорвалась. В результате ЧП никто не пострадал. Владевшая уничтоженным спутником компания Space Communication подтвердила намерение потребовать от SpaceX компенсацию в размере $50 млн или бесплатный запуск в связи с потерей Amos-6. Основатель SpaceX Илон Маск назвал взрыв наиболее серьезной неудачей за всю 14-летнюю историю существования компании.
По итогам расследования специалисты фирмы пришли к выводу, что причиной случившегося стала неисправность в одном из трех находящихся под высоким давлением баллонов, которые были расположены внутри бака с жидким кислородом во второй ступени ракеты. Представители SpaceX заверили, что компания приняла необходимые меры с целью недопущения повторения аварийной ситуации.

Encapsulation of the SES-10 satellite inside Falcon 9's payload fairing underway this morning at Cape Canaveral. Launch still NET 3/29.

Цитировать17:40 (https://img.novosti-kosmonavtiki.ru/196244.png)  (http://24liveblog.com/share/196230809?url=https://v.24liveblog.com/live/?id=1381188)

Technicians are closing up the SES 10 communications satellite inside the Falcon 9 rocket's nose fairing this morning at Cape Canaveral as launch engineers prepare for a hold-down firing of the Falcon 9 rocket's main engines as soon as Sunday.

The two-stage rocket, without its commercial payload, should roll out to launch pad 39A this weekend for a static fire test Sunday afternoon. The rocket's nine Merlin 1D engines will ignite for around three seconds in a shakedown of booster and ground systems before the real countdown next week.

Спойлер

The launch, set for no earlier than Wednesday, March 29, will mark the first time SpaceX has reused one of its Falcon 9 first stage boosters. The rocket's second stage and payload fairing remain newly-built.

Wednesday's two-and-a-half hour launch window opens at 4:59 p.m. EDT (2059 GMT).
The SES 10 communications satellite, inside the rocket's nose cone, will be transported from SpaceX's payload processing facility at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station a few miles north to the hangar at pad 39A at NASA's Kennedy Space Center for attachment to the Falcon 9 once the static fire test is accomplished.

SES 10, built by Airbus Defense and Space, will support television broadcast services and mobile communications over Mexico and other parts of Spanish-speaking Latin America. The spacecraft will also provide support for oil and gas exploration in the Brazilian market.

The fully-fueled satellite has a launch mass of around 11,700 pounds (5,300 kilograms), according to Airbus.

SpaceX plans to recover the 15-story first stage booster on its drone ship in the Atlantic Ocean following next week's launch. The company has developed a new robot to secure the rocket to the ocean-going landing platform that could see its debut after next week's flight.

The first stage slated to launch with the SES 10 satellite first flew on a space station resupply launch on April 8, 2016.

ЦитироватьSES-10 static fire aims SpaceX for history books & first core stage re-flight
March 25, 2017 by Chris Gebhardt

 (https://img.novosti-kosmonavtiki.ru/209085.jpg)

In what is anticipated to be the first of many such occasions, SpaceX is preparing for the all-important static fire of the first stage of the Falcon 9 rocket that will be tasked with lofting the SES-10 mission to orbit next week.  Of historic importance is the fact that this first stage has already launched a mission – marking the first time that SpaceX will refly the first stage of a Falcon 9 rocket.

Static fire – the road to launch No Earlier Than 29 March:

The static fire process for SpaceX and its Falcon 9 rocket is one of the last critical components in the pre-launch flow ahead of liftoff.

(https://img.novosti-kosmonavtiki.ru/209007.jpg)

For SES-10, the Falcon 9 and mated second stage will be moved to the launch pad on top of the TEL (Transporter Erector Launcher) and will be taken to vertical at historic launch complex 39A.

Once the Falcon 9 is vertical, technicians and engineers will complete all of the connections between the TEL/launch mount and LC-39A and proceed into countdown operations on Sunday morning.

For this particular static fire, SpaceX has an eight-hour window from 1500 to 2300 Eastern Daylight Time on 26 March.

KSC security personnel will establish roadblocks on the main roads leading to LC-39A only (Pad-B will remain open) at 1130 EDT that morning, and KSC Emergency Operations Command (EOC) will be activated at 1330 EDT and will stand ready to assist in the "extreme, unlikely event of an anomaly", notes an SES-10 Mission Upd ate package available on L2.

(https://img.novosti-kosmonavtiki.ru/209060.png)

Once into countdown operations, the Falcon 9 will be filled with its RP1 and LOX fuel and oxidizer and run through the same series of steps as it will encounter in its actual countdown.

If all goes to plan, 3.5 seconds prior to T0, the 9 Merlin 1D engines at the base of the Falcon 9 first stage – Core #1021 – will ignite for a multi-second firing sequence.
Usually, Falcon 9 static fires result in a 3.5 second engine firing – taking the vehicle right up to the nominal T0 point in the count – at which point all 9 engines are shut down and the vehicle is secured.
 
However, the static fire for SES-10 might be slightly longer – in the 5-second range – as was seen with the previous SES mission, SES-9, launched by a Falcon 9 rocket last year.

Regardless of the duration of Sunday's planned static fire, the event will provide SpaceX with valuable data and a wet dress rehearsal for the actual launch – which is currently slated for Wednesday, 29 March in a window extending from 1659 to 1929 EDT.

Спойлер

The SES-10 mission had, earlier this month, been slated for No Earlier Than (NET) 27 March – with a static fire NET 23 March.

(https://img.novosti-kosmonavtiki.ru/209061.png)

That schedule was rearranged earlier this week – around the same time SpaceX stated that LC-39A held up extremely well fr om the Echostar XXIII launch and would have been able to support a 27 March launch – due to ongoing delays with an Atlas V rocket fr om United Launch Alliance which is slated to launch the OA7 Cygnus mission for Orbital ATK.

When ULA noted that they needed additional time to fix a hydraulic issue with the Atlas V, SpaceX agreed to delay the SES-10 launch by two days to allow ULA the 27 March date for a mission to launch supplies to the International Space Station.

When ULA subsequently announced that the Atlas V mission was being delayed indefinitely to fix a new hydraulic issue discovered on GSE (Ground Support Equipment), SpaceX opted not to pull the launch of SES-10 back to 27 March and instead hold the 29 March date after all of their schedules and workflows for personnel, the rocket, and the ASDS (Autonomous Spaceport Drone Ship) Of Course I Still Love You (OCISLY) barge had been realigned accordingly.

Making history – Reusing a Falcon 9 core stage for the first time:

The history of Core #1021 stretches back far, in terms of what has to date been normal with Falcon 9 launches.

(https://img.novosti-kosmonavtiki.ru/209062.png)

For the first time in its storied history, Core 1021 fired up for its first hot fire test at SpaceX's McGregor, Texas, test facility on 5 February 2016.

Following the full duration hot fire, the core suffered an incident on 8 February during follow-up testing when a GSE-related incident damaged most of the stage's engine nozzles.

The damage was repaired at McGregor, and the stage was shipped to Cape Canaveral by the end of March 2016.

After its arrival at SLC-40, Core 1021 was transported into the Horizontal Integration Facility (HIF) and prepared for mating with its second stage and CRS-8 Dragon payload.

(https://img.novosti-kosmonavtiki.ru/209063.png)

On 5 April, the core's nine engines lit for the 3.5 second static fire on SLC-40.

Three days later, the engines once again roared to life as Core 1021 launched with the CRS-8 mission to the ISS.

After 2 minutes 42 seconds of flight, the engines shut down, and Core 1021 separated from the second stage – which continued to sail into orbit.

After separation, Core 1021 performed a Boostback Burn to set up its reentry into the atmosphere and place it onto the proper course for landing on the ASDS OCISLY barge.

This was followed by an automated Entry Burn and then a single-engine landing burn.

(https://img.novosti-kosmonavtiki.ru/209064.png)

With a live view from a chase helicopter, Core 1021 eased onto OCISLY 8 minutes 35 seconds after liftoff while the 2nd stage continued to power the CRS-8 Dragon to orbit.

Landing on OCISLY marked the first successful drone ship landing of a Falcon 9 core and the second overall successful core stage landing for the company.

Interestingly enough, Core 1021 could have performed a Return To Launch Site landing at LZ-1 – like the ORBCOMM-2 core had in December 2015; however, SpaceX opted to land Core 1021 on the ASDS barge instead to prove beyond doubt that barge landings and recoveries were possible.

(https://img.novosti-kosmonavtiki.ru/208940.webp)

After securing Core 1021 on the barge, the duo set sail back for Port Canaveral.

Once in Port, the core was removed from OCISLY and engineers removed its landing legs before the whole core was rotated horizontal and loaded onto a transport trailer – wh ere it was then taken from Port Canaveral to the HIF at LC-39A.

At the HIF, months of inspections, engine removals, and studies commenced.

Originally, Core 1021 was destined for multiple hot fires as part of SpaceX's concerted effort to learn as much as possible from a returned core before committing any core to reflight.

(https://img.novosti-kosmonavtiki.ru/209065.png)

The originally announced plan called for Core 1021 to undergo 10 firings over the course of several months.

At this same time, it was not known with certainty wh ere Core 1021 would undergo these 10 test firings – with some hopes being that those firings could occur at LC-39A with McGregor as a backup.

However, as more and more cores hit their landing marks and were recovered, it was decided that Core 1021 was not the best choice for the 10 post-flight firings.

That job when to Core 1022 that launched the JCSAT-14 mission and performed a successful reentry and landing at its maximum operational and heating limits – so much so that SpaceX didn't really expect Core 1022 to successfully reenter and land, thus making it a perfect battled-hardened test article.

(https://img.novosti-kosmonavtiki.ru/209066.png)

Post-flight inspections of the JCSAT-14 core immediately ruled out its ability to fly again, but as Elon Musk noted, the core became the "life leader for ground tests to confirm others are good."

After initial evaluations inside the LC-39A HIF, Core 1022 was wrapped up and transported to McGregor.

In July, it was hoisted onto the Falcon 9 test stand and topped with a special cap to provide simulated weight for a second stage to aid in the data acquisition process.

Notably, Core 1022 was not the first core to see a second life – as the ORBCOMM-2 core was previously static fired on SLC-40 on 14 January 2016 to provide an initial se t of data points on a previously-flown core.

(https://img.novosti-kosmonavtiki.ru/208946.jpg)

On 28 July 2016, Core 1022 came back to life, conducting a 2 minute 30 second full duration hot fire test.

This was followed by two more full duration hot fires over the next two days.

After being removed from the test stand to make room for another core, Core 1022 was then returned to the stand and fired up several more times.

All of these tests on an already flown, maximally stressed F9 core provided crucial data for SpaceX on the health of returned F9 cores, how their systems responded to multiple firings and cryo tanking cycles, and gave a good baseline for the number of times each system can potentially be reused.

(https://img.novosti-kosmonavtiki.ru/209076.jpg)

Importantly, it proved – through data – that the stages could be reflown.

However, even before Core 1022 was put through its paces at McGregor, SpaceX announced on 16 July 2016 its intentions to use the CRS-8 Core, #1021, for the first Falcon 9 reflight – though no specific mission was formally announced.

In August 2016, the SES corporation confirmed that their SES-10 mission would be the first one to use an already flown Falcon 9 core.

At this point, SES-10 was scheduled for a "contractual window between mid-October and mid-November 2016."

Just days after this announcement, the AMOS-6 static fire ended with a conflagration event and the destruction of that Falcon 9 and the AMOS-6 satellite and resulted in significant damage to SLC-40.

With the Falcon 9 grounded as an investigation took place, SES-10's place in the manifest shuffled as the Falcon 9 launch order was redesigned.

(https://img.novosti-kosmonavtiki.ru/209059.png)

By January 2017, just after a successful Falcon 9 Return To Flight mission from Vandenberg Air Force Base, California, Core 1021 was at Mcgregor and installed on the Falcon 9 test stand.

The core was loaded with propellant, and its nine Merlin 1D engines were fired for a full duration hot fire test – as part of a standard pre-launch flow.

The core was then transported back to the Kennedy Space Center and moved into the HIF for final flight processing.

Despite the passage of nearly one year between flights, Core 1021 was refurbished in just four months, as Gwynne Shotwell stated earlier this month.

Looking ahead to launch, SpaceX will attempt to recover the Core 1021 at sea with OCISLY.

If SpaceX can successfully recover Core 1021 again, it will not only be an historic achievement, but will provide even more data on how Falcon 9 core stages fair during reflight events.

The Falcon 9 rocket's static fire test planned for today has been delayed until Monday, likely pushing back the launch until Thursday evening. SpaceX typically needs around three days to prepare for a launch after a static fire test, a series of steps that include the attachment of a satellite payload atop the rocket.

Launch preparations are running behind schedule, and the launch window Wednesday and Thursday opens around 4:59 p.m. EDT (2059 GMT).

The launch will send the SES 10 communications satellite into orbit aboard the first reused Falcon 9 rocket booster from launch pad 39A at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida.

ЦитироватьSES-10 F9 static fire – SpaceX for history books & first core stage re-flight
March 25, 2017 by Chris Gebhardt

 (https://img.novosti-kosmonavtiki.ru/209085.jpg)

In what is anticipated to be the first of many such occasions, SpaceX has conducted the all-important static fire on Monday of the first stage of the Falcon 9 rocket that will be tasked with lofting the SES-10 mission to orbit next week.  Of historic importance is the fact that this first stage has already launched a mission – marking the first time that SpaceX will refly the first stage of a Falcon 9 rocket.

Спойлер

Static fire – the road to launch No Earlier Than 29 March:

The static fire process for SpaceX and its Falcon 9 rocket is one of the last critical components in the pre-launch flow ahead of liftoff.

(https://img.novosti-kosmonavtiki.ru/209007.jpg)

For SES-10, the Falcon 9 and mated second stage moved to the launch pad on top of the TEL (Transporter Erector Launcher) and taken to vertical at historic launch complex 39A.

Once the Falcon 9 was vertical, technicians and engineers completed all of the connections between the TEL/launch mount and LC-39A and proceeded into countdown operations on Monday morning.
For this particular static fire, SpaceX had a six-hour window.

KSC security personnel established roadblocks on the main roads leading to LC-39A and KSC Emergency Operations Command (EOC) were activated and on stand ready to assist in the "extreme, unlikely event of an anomaly", notes an SES-10 Mission Upd ate package available on L2.

(https://img.novosti-kosmonavtiki.ru/209060.png)

Once into countdown operations, the Falcon 9 was filled with its RP1 and LOX fuel and oxidizer and run through the same series of steps as it will encounter in its actual countdown.

The nine Merlin 1D engines at the base of the Falcon 9 first stage – Core #1021 – then ignited for a multi-second firing sequence.

Usually, Falcon 9 static fires result in a 3.5 second engine firing – taking the vehicle right up to the nominal T0 point in the count – at which point all 9 engines are shut down and the vehicle is secured.
 
However, the static fire for SES-10 might be slightly longer – in the 5-second range – as was seen with the previous SES mission, SES-9, launched by a Falcon 9 rocket last year.

Regardless of the duration of the planned static fire, the event provided SpaceX with valuable data and a wet dress rehearsal for the actual launch – which is now slated for Thursday, 30 March in a window extending fr om 1800 to 2030 EDT.

The SES-10 mission had, earlier this month, been slated for No Earlier Than (NET) 27 March – with a static fire NET now as 24 March. However, a tight schedule has slipped the mission twice ahead of the Static Fire.

(https://img.novosti-kosmonavtiki.ru/209061.png)

LC-39A held up extremely well fr om the Echostar XXIII launch and would have been able to support a 27 March launch. However, the first impact was due to ongoing delays with an Atlas V rocket from United Launch Alliance which is slated to launch the OA7 Cygnus mission for Orbital ATK.

When ULA noted that they needed additional time to fix a Ground Support Equipment (GSE) issue, SpaceX agreed to delay the SES-10 launch by two days to allow ULA the 27 March date for a mission to launch supplies to the International Space Station.

When ULA subsequently announced that the Atlas V mission was being delayed indefinitely to fix a new hydraulic issue, this time with the Atlas V booster, SpaceX opted not to pull the launch of SES-10 back to 27 March and instead hold the 29 March date after all of their schedules and workflows for personnel, the rocket, and the ASDS (Autonomous Spaceport Drone Ship) Of Course I Still Love You (OCISLY) barge had been realigned accordingly.

A tight schedule resulted in the Static Fire and launch date slipping one additional day respectively.

Making history – Reusing a Falcon 9 core stage for the first time:

The history of Core #1021 stretches back far, in terms of what has to date been normal with Falcon 9 launches.

(https://img.novosti-kosmonavtiki.ru/209062.png)

For the first time in its storied history, Core 1021 fired up for its first hot fire test at SpaceX's McGregor, Texas, test facility on 5 February 2016.

Following the full duration hot fire, the core suffered an incident on 8 February during follow-up testing when a GSE-related incident damaged most of the stage's engine nozzles.

The damage was repaired at McGregor, and the stage was shipped to Cape Canaveral by the end of March 2016.

After its arrival at SLC-40, Core 1021 was transported into the Horizontal Integration Facility (HIF) and prepared for mating with its second stage and CRS-8 Dragon payload.

(https://img.novosti-kosmonavtiki.ru/209063.png)

On 5 April, the core's nine engines lit for the 3.5 second static fire on SLC-40.

Three days later, the engines once again roared to life as Core 1021 launched with the CRS-8 mission to the ISS.

After 2 minutes 42 seconds of flight, the engines shut down, and Core 1021 separated from the second stage – which continued to sail into orbit.

After separation, Core 1021 performed a Boostback Burn to set up its reentry into the atmosphere and place it onto the proper course for landing on the ASDS OCISLY barge.

This was followed by an automated Entry Burn and then a single-engine landing burn.

(https://img.novosti-kosmonavtiki.ru/209064.png)

With a live view from a chase plane, Core 1021 eased onto OCISLY 8 minutes 35 seconds after liftoff while the 2nd stage continued to power the CRS-8 Dragon to orbit.

Landing on OCISLY marked the first successful drone ship landing of a Falcon 9 core and the second overall successful core stage landing for the company.

Interestingly enough, Core 1021 could have performed a Return To Launch Site landing at LZ-1 – like the ORBCOMM-2 core had in December 2015; however, SpaceX opted to land Core 1021 on the ASDS barge instead to prove beyond doubt that barge landings and recoveries were possible.

(https://img.novosti-kosmonavtiki.ru/208940.webp)

After securing Core 1021 on the barge, the duo set sail back for Port Canaveral.

Once in Port, the core was removed from OCISLY and engineers removed its landing legs before the whole core was rotated horizontal and loaded onto a transport trailer – wh ere it was then taken from Port Canaveral to the HIF at LC-39A.

At the HIF, months of inspections, engine removals, and studies commenced.

Originally, Core 1021 was destined for multiple hot fires as part of SpaceX's concerted effort to learn as much as possible from a returned core before committing any core to reflight.

(https://img.novosti-kosmonavtiki.ru/209065.png)

The originally announced plan called for Core 1021 to undergo 10 firings over the course of several months.

At this same time, it was not known with certainty wh ere Core 1021 would undergo these 10 test firings – with some hopes being that those firings could occur at LC-39A with McGregor as a backup.
However, as more and more cores hit their landing marks and were recovered, it was decided that Core 1021 was not the best choice for the 10 post-flight firings.

That job went to Core 1022 that launched the JCSAT-14 mission and performed a successful reentry and landing at its maximum operational and heating limits – so much so that SpaceX didn't really expect Core 1022 to successfully reenter and land, thus making it a perfect battled-hardened test article.

(https://img.novosti-kosmonavtiki.ru/209066.png)

Post-flight inspections of the JCSAT-14 core immediately ruled out its ability to fly again, but as Elon Musk noted, the core became the "life leader for ground tests to confirm others are good."
After initial evaluations inside the LC-39A HIF, Core 1022 was wrapped up and transported to McGregor.

In July, it was hoisted onto the Falcon 9 test stand and topped with a special cap to provide simulated weight for a second stage to aid in the data acquisition process.

Notably, Core 1022 was not the first core to see a second life – as the ORBCOMM-2 core was previously static fired on SLC-40 on 14 January 2016 to provide an initial se t of data points on a previously-flown core.

(https://img.novosti-kosmonavtiki.ru/208946.jpg)

On 28 July 2016, Core 1022 came back to life, conducting a 2 minute 30 second full duration hot fire test.

This was followed by two more full duration hot fires over the next two days.

After being removed from the test stand to make room for another core, Core 1022 was then returned to the stand and fired up several more times.

All of these tests on an already flown, maximally stressed F9 core provided crucial data for SpaceX on the health of returned F9 cores, how their systems responded to multiple firings and cryo tanking cycles, and gave a good baseline for the number of times each system can potentially be reused.

(https://img.novosti-kosmonavtiki.ru/209076.jpg)

Importantly, it proved – through data – that the stages could be reflown.

However, even before Core 1022 was put through its paces at McGregor, SpaceX announced on 16 July 2016 its intentions to use the CRS-8 Core, #1021, for the first Falcon 9 reflight – though no specific mission was formally announced.

In August 2016, the SES corporation confirmed that their SES-10 mission would be the first one to use an already flown Falcon 9 core.

At this point, SES-10 was scheduled for a "contractual window between mid-October and mid-November 2016."

Just days after this announcement, the AMOS-6 static fire ended with a conflagration event and the destruction of that Falcon 9 and the AMOS-6 satellite and resulted in significant damage to SLC-40.
With the Falcon 9 grounded as an investigation took place, SES-10's place in the manifest shuffled as the Falcon 9 launch order was redesigned.

(https://img.novosti-kosmonavtiki.ru/209059.png)

By January 2017, just after a successful Falcon 9 Return To Flight mission from Vandenberg Air Force Base, California, Core 1021 was at Mcgregor and installed on the Falcon 9 test stand.

The core was loaded with propellant, and its nine Merlin 1D engines were fired for a full duration hot fire test – as part of a standard pre-launch flow.

The core was then transported back to the Kennedy Space Center and moved into the HIF for final flight processing.

Despite the passage of nearly one year between flights, Core 1021 was refurbished in just four months, as Gwynne Shotwell stated earlier this month.

Looking ahead to launch, SpaceX will attempt to recover the Core 1021 at sea with OCISLY.

If SpaceX can successfully recover Core 1021 again, it will not only be an historic achievement, but will provide even more data on how Falcon 9 core stages fare during reflight events.

SpaceX has set the first launch of a "flight-proven" Falcon 9 rocket for Thursday evening after running the booster through a hold-down engine firing Monday at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida.

Nearly ready for its second trip into space, the Falcon 9's first stage booster ignited at launch pad 39A at 2 p.m. EDT (1800 GMT) and throttled up to full power -- roughly 1.7 million pounds of thrust -- for a few seconds as clamps held the rocket on the ground.

The brief ignition of the rocket's nine Merlin 1D main engines occurred after SpaceX's launch team, overseeing a computer-controlled sequencer, prepped the launcher by filling with its supplies of super-chilled, densified RP-1 kerosene and liquid oxygen propellants.

SpaceX tweeted that the static fire test was completed successfully. Engineers will review data from the launch rehearsal before convening a launch readiness review later this week to formally clear the rocket for liftoff.

The launch window opens at 6 p.m. EDT (2200 GMT) Thursday and extends for two-and-a-half hours.

Nearly ready for its second trip into space, the Falcon 9's first stage booster ignited at launch pad 39A at 2 p.m. EDT (1800 GMT) and throttled up to full power — roughly 1.7 million pounds of thrust — for a few seconds as clamps held the rocket on the ground.

The brief ignition of the rocket's nine Merlin 1D main engines occurred after SpaceX's launch team, overseeing a computer-controlled sequencer, prepped the launcher by filling with its supplies of super-chilled, densified RP-1 kerosene and liquid oxygen propellants.

SpaceX tweeted that the static fire test was completed successfully. Engineers will review data fr om the launch rehearsal before convening a launch readiness review later this week to formally clear the rocket for liftoff.

The launch window opens at 6 p.m. EDT (2200 GMT) Thursday and extends for two-and-a-half hours.

The static fire test was set for Sunday, followed by a launch attempt Wednesday, but preparations ran behind schedule over the weekend.

The launch is critical for SpaceX, which intends to re-fly its rockets many times in a cost-cutting measure meant to reduce launch prices and open more opportunities for space transportation and exploration.

SpaceX founder and chief executive Elon Musk has a vision to send large transport ships to Mars with human passengers and cargo to eventually set up a self-sustaining civilization on the red planet. Those lofty ambitions require spaceflight to become less expensive, and reusability is a cornerstone to that objective.

While the company hopes to field future rockets that are rapidly reusable, SpaceX engineers spent around four months refurbishing the first stage booster set to launch this week. The core of the Falcon 9 first flew on April 8, 2016, with a Dragon supply ship on a cargo mission to the International Space Station, then landed with the assistance of rocket thrust on a mobile platform in the Atlantic Ocean.

The rocket was returned to Cape Canaveral, then trucked back to SpaceX's headquarters in Hawthorne, California, for thorough inspections and refurbishment. The booster then traveled to SpaceX's test site in McGregor, Texas, for hold-down firings and returned to the Florida launch a few weeks ago.

The rocket's second stage, powered by a single Merlin 1D engine with a nozzle extension, and payload fairing were manufactured new for this week's flight. SpaceX is working on retrieving and reusing the Falcon 9 fairing, which comes in two clamshell-like halves, while the second stage will remain single-use for the foreseeable future.

With the static fire completed Monday, ground crews will roll back the two-stage Falcon 9 rocket to its hangar at the southern perimeter of pad 39A, wh ere the SES 10 communications satellite awaits attachment to the launcher.

The SES 10 spacecraft, tipping the scales at around 11,700 pounds (5,300 kilograms), is already encapsulated inside the Falcon 9's nose fairing after being prepared for liftoff in a separate payload processing facility a few miles to the south of pad 39A.

SES, a Luxembourg-based international telecom satellite operator, announced its agreement with SpaceX in August 2016 to send the SES 10 satellite to orbit on a Falcon 9 rocket with a reused first stage.

While SpaceX and SES did not disclose terms of their contract for the SES 10 launch, SpaceX president and chief operating officer Gwynne Shotwell said last year the launch provider was offering a 10 percent discount for customers willing to fly their payloads on reused boosters.

That discount should become steeper on future flights, according to SpaceX officials. The company lists a regular commercial Falcon 9 flight at $62 million.

SES is designed to broadcast video and television services across Latin America. It was built by Airbus Defense and Space and assembled in Toulouse, France.

Shotwell said earlier this month that the company intends to fly up to six reused boosters this year. The maiden launch of SpaceX's Falcon Heavy rocket, driven by three Falcon 9 rocket cores strapped together, is expected to utilize one or two previously-flown boosters, but SpaceX has not publicly identified other missions that will reuse rocket stages.

The weather outlook for Thursday evening's launch window calls for a 70 percent chance of acceptable conditions.

The U.S. Air Force's 45th Weather Squadron will watch for violations of the cumulus cloud and thick cloud layer rules during the countdown.

"On Wednesday, a weak surface boundary will drape across the Mid-Atlantic states and trail back into a developing storm system over Texas," the Air Force weather team wrote in a forecast issued Monday. "On Thursday, the strengthening Texas storm system begins to track northeasterly into the Tennessee Valley. Although the system and its associated frontal boundary will not directly impact the spaceport until late Friday and Saturday, upper-level cloudiness and added instability ahead of the system is possible."

The outlook calls for scattered clouds at 3,000 feet and broken clouds at 28,000 feet, southeast winds at 10 to 15 mph, and a launch time temperature of 80 degrees Fahrenheit.

If the launch is delayed to the backup day Friday, the weather is forecast to worsen with a 60 percent chance of favorable conditions.

SpaceX's landing platform is on the way to the landing zone a few hundred miles east of Cape Canaveral to receive the Falcon 9 first stage, which will again attempt a landing at sea after completing its two-and-a-half minute firing to push SES 10 toward space.

A new robot is expected to debut after the booster touches down to remotely safe and secure the rocket on the deck of the barge, or drone ship, for the trip back to Port Canaveral.

SES: working toward Thursday launch, but don't be surprised if it slips a day due to pad time needed for spacecraft testing.

Цитировать- They are running right up on the timeline to make the 30th because once the Falcon 9 and integrated payload are vertical at 39A, they need 13 hours to check out the spacecraft. Might be a slip to 3–31.

- The launch window was shortened to 1800 – 2030 EDT not because of the vehicle or SpaceX, but because the FAA didn't want to close down airspace for a 4hr launch window.

The Falcon 9 rocket was rotated back horizontal this morning to return to the hangar for attachment with the SES 10 communications satellite ahead of Thursday evening's launch attempt.

Engineers are still aiming for launch of a Falcon 9 rocket Thursday evening, but the timeline is tight to complete mission preps in time, according to Martin Halliwell, the chief technology officer for SES, owner of the satellite going up on the first flight of a reused SpaceX booster.

After Monday's hotfire test at pad 39A, the rocket was lowered horizontally this morning for return to SpaceX's nearby hangar, where ground crews are expected to attach the 11,644-pound (5,281.7-kilogram) SES 10 spacecraft to the upper stage.

The rocket needs to return to the launch pad and be lifted vertical again overnight tomorrow to complete 13 hours of checkouts on the SES 10 satellite by engineers from Airbus Defense and Space, the craft's manufacturer, Halliwell said.

The checkouts must occur when the rocket is vertical at the launch pad, according to Halliwell, and involve testing and software uploads to the the SES 10 spacecraft.

Once the checkouts are complete, SpaceX needs a few more hours to start the countdown and fuel the rocket, with liftoff targeted for 6 p.m. EDT (2200 GMT) at the opening of a two-and-a-half hour window.

The duration of the launch window is restricted by the Federal Aviation Administration, which must clear air travel routes over Cape Canaveral for the rocket launch.

If the rocket and satellite are not ready in time for Thursday, there is a backup opportunity Friday, and the Air Force-run Eastern Range is believed to be clear for more launch attempts over the weekend.

The launch forecast shows a 70 percent chance of acceptable weather Thursday, but conditions worsen Friday evening, with a 40 percent chance of favorable weather then.

The weather forecast for tomorrow evening's launch window has improved, now predicting an 80 percent chance of acceptable conditions.

The launch window opens at 6:27 p.m. EDT (2227 GMT) and extends two-and-a-half hours. That enables SpaceX at least two opportunities to launch if a problem forces an abort late in the countdown, allowing sufficient time to recycle and reload super-chilled propellants, officials said.

The primary concerns Thursday will be the cumulus cloud and thick cloud weather rules, according to the official U.S. Air Force weather forecast released this morning.

The outlook calls for a few clouds at 3,000 feet and scattered clouds at 28,000 feet, southeast winds of 10 to 15 mph, and a temperature of 75 degrees Fahrenheit at launch time.

If the launch is delayed to Friday, the weather will worsen with showers, isolated thunderstorms and gusty winds in the forecast. The forecast for Friday predicts a 40 percent chance of good weather for a launch.

Launch preparations are still on track for liftoff Thursday after the Falcon 9 rocket returned to its hangar yesterday. The rocket has been mated with the SES 10 communications satellite with no issues, officials said.

Once the satellite and rocket completed a series of integrated tests today, the Falcon 9 will be rolled back out to pad 39A and lifted vertical some time this evening or overnight to kick off final testing and the software upload to the spacecraft.

Unconfirmed (but I'm told) Falcon 9 has begun rollout operations and should still be good to press towards a launch attempt on Thursday.

ЦитироватьRepeating its up-and-down trajectory after its first flight last year, the rocket booster will aim for landing on SpaceX's drone ship around 340 miles (550 kilometers) east of Cape Canaveral.
The Falcon 9's second stage, powered by a single Merlin 1D engine, will fire two times to deploy SES 10 into an oval-shaped geostationary transfer orbit ranging between 135 miles (218 kilometers) and 22,002 miles (35,410 kilometers) in altitude, according to Halliwell.
The rocket will inject SES 10 into an orbit with a tilt of about 26.2 degrees to Earth's equator. Separation of the satellite from the launcher is programmed for 32 minutes after liftoff.

Цитировать"I'm talking hundredths of a percent," Halliwell said. "There was essentially no change in the insurance premium."

ЦитироватьSpaceX did not swap out any of the rocket's nine Merlin 1D engines, and SES engineers were embedded with the launch company over the last few months. Halliwell said SpaceX gave the SES engineers — all U.S. citizens to comply with arms export regulations — "tremendous transparency" into the design of the engines and avionics, along with test results.

ЦитироватьIf Thursday's launch is successful, Halliwell said SES might launch two more satellites — SES 14 and SES 16 — on previously-flown boosters later this year. The next SES satellite assigned to a SpaceX launch — SES 11 — will fly this summer on a newly-manufactured rocket, he said.

ЦитироватьNevertheless, the insurer said the push toward reusable rockets is unlikely to be reversed, even by a failure.

The Falcon 9 rocket has rolled out to launch pad 39A with the SES 10 satellite on-board, completing the trip to the pad surface just before midnight local time.

The next step will be to hoist the 229-foot-tall (70-meter) rocket vertical.

A Falcon 9 booster that flew into space last year is set to launch again Thursday from Florida's Space Coast with an SES communications satellite, a historic mission that could make major strides in validating SpaceX's audacious goal of recovering and reusing launchers, and an achievement the company says will revolutionize the rocket business.

Like all launches, the flight is risky, but SES officials and insurers are comfortable enough to put an operational satellite on-board.

Martin Halliwell, chief technology officer of Luxembourg-based SES, said this week that he believes the risk has been blunted by months of inspections, refurbishment and engineering reviews.

"We've been through this thing with a fine-toothed comb," Halliwell said Tuesday. "SpaceX has been through this with a fine-toothed comb. This booster is a really good booster, and we're confident in this one."

The Falcon 9 rocket is again standing vertical at pad 39A after being raised upright around 4 a.m. EDT (0800 GMT) this morning.

Next up will be a series of checkouts and software uploads on the SES 10 communications satellite, followed by the start of Falcon 9 countdown procedures this afternoon.

Final launch preps this afternoon will include the evacuation of the launch pad prior to fueling, activation of the Falcon 9's computer and navigation system, and a prelaunch poll by the SpaceX launch conductor at 5:09 p.m. EDT (2109 GMT) to verify all consoles are "go" for the terminal countdown.

Super-chilled RP-1 kerosene fuel will be loaded first into the two-stage booster, beginning around 5:17 p.m. EDT (2117 GMT). Liquid oxygen, chilled and densified near its freezing point, will follow starting at around 5:42 p.m. EDT (2142 GMT).

The computer-controlled countdown will prep the rocket's nine Merlin 1D main engines for ignition, transition the Falcon 9 to internal battery power, and pressurize the booster's propellant tanks in the last 10 minutes of the countdown.

The launch window opens at 6:27 p.m. EDT (2227 GMT) and runs until 8:57 p.m. EDT (0057 GMT). That is long enough to permit a recycle and a second launch attempt should the first try be aborted in the final minutes or seconds.

 March 30, 2017 (https://spaceflightnow.com/2017/03/) Stephen Clark (https://spaceflightnow.com/author/stephen-clark/)

SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket is set for liftoff from Cape Canaveral on Thursday evening, heading due east over the Atlantic Ocean to deliver the SES 10 communications satellite into orbit 32 minutes later.

The 229-foot-tall (70-meter) rocket is poised for launch from pad 39A at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida at 6:27 p.m. EDT (2227 GMT) Thursday at the opening of a 150-minute launch window.

Perched atop the rocket is the SES 10 communications satellite, a spacecraft made by Airbus Defense and Space, ready to beam television programming and data services across Latin America. The rocket will place the satellite into a high-altitude geosynchronous transfer orbit.

The timeline below outlines the launch sequence for the Falcon 9 flight with SES 10, SpaceX's first launch with a previously-flown first stage booster.

ГПО - общее название орбит с апогеем на геостационаре. Вам на ГСО там нужно попасть в конкретную позицию, а не абы-куда (например, над Бразилией, но никак не над Индонезией) - если грубо в двух словах без подробностей - баллистики определяют по заданной позиции время пуска. ПМСМ, конечно...

Sources say satellite checkouts are going ahead of schedule this morning after the Falcon 9 rocket went vertical at pad 39A. Airbus Defense and Space, SES 10's manufacturer, expected to need about 13 hours to test and prep the spacecaft once the rocket was vertical at the pad.

Liftoff remains scheduled for 6:27 p.m. EDT (2227 GMT), the opening of this evening's launch window.

 March 30, 2017 (https://spaceflightnow.com/2017/03/) Stephen Clark (https://spaceflightnow.com/author/stephen-clark/)

A Falcon 9 rocket is standing on launch pad 39A at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida for liftoff Thursday to carry the SES 10 communications satellite into orbit on the first mission SpaceX has attempted to re-fly one of its used boosters.

Standing 229 feet (70 meters) tall, the slender white booster shows signs of its up-and-down flight in April 2016 that sent a Dragon supply ship toward the International Space Station. SpaceX cleaned off the first stage, inspected, refurbished and retested it ahead of Thursday's flight.

The rocket's tail number — No. 21 — is visible at the base of the first stage booster. The marking is located between the rocket's four landing legs.

Liftoff is set for 6:27 p.m. EDT (2227 GMT) Thursday at the opening of a two-and-a-half hour launch window. It will be the 32nd flight of a Falcon 9 rocket overall, and the fourth Falcon 9 launch of the year.

The danger area around the Falcon 9's launch pad is reported clear for the start of propellant loading operations.

03/30/2017 23:50 (https://img.novosti-kosmonavtiki.ru/196244.png)  (http://24liveblog.com/share/196269327?url=https://v.24liveblog.com/live/?id=1381188)
There are several changes to the Falcon 9 countdown that were first introduced Jan. 14 on a launch from California, the first SpaceX mission after a rocket exploded on a launch pad at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in September.

Engineers changed the filling sequence to avoid the problem of liquid oxygen becoming trapped in voids between helium pressurant tanks and their composite overwraps, which SpaceX says most likely caused the explosion last year.

When it debuted a more capable Falcon 9 configuration burning super-chilled densified propellants in 2015, SpaceX shortened its launch countdowns to begin pumping fuel and oxidizer into the rocket just 35 minutes before blastoff. SpaceX's previous Falcon 9 countdowns followed a practice employed universally on cryogenically-fueled rockets worldwide, in which propellants are loaded aboard several hours ahead of launch.

The "load and go" countdowns caused headaches at first, leading to several aborts and delays before SpaceX gained experience with the practice early last year. The late fueling plan has also drawn questions from NASA safety advisors, who worry the procedure will endanger astronauts strapped into to SpaceX's Crew Dragon spaceships, which the company is developing to ferry people to and from the space station.

The timeline for today's countdown calls for RP-1 kerosene, chilled to around 20 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 6 degrees Celsius), to begin flowing into the two-stage rocket at T-minus 70 minutes. Liquid oxygen loading will follow at T-minus 45 minutes.

A poll of the SpaceX launch team is expected at T-minus 78 minutes to give a "go" for fueling operations.

SpaceX's Elon Musk's comments today's flight:
"We just had an incredible day today -- the first re-flight of an orbital-class booster. It did its mission perfectly, dropped off the second stage, came back and landed on the drone ship, right on the bullseye. It's an amazing day, I think, for space as a whole, for the space industry.

"It means you can fly and re-fly an orbital-class booster, which is the most expensive part of the rocket. This is going to be ... a huge evolution in spaceflight. It's the difference between if you had airplanes where you threw away airplanes after every flight, versus you could reuse them multiple times.

"So it's been 15 years to get to this point. It's taken us a long time, a lot of difficult steps along the way. I'm just incredibly proud of the SpaceX team for being able to achieve this incredible milestone in the history of space. I'm sort of at a loss for words. But it's really a great day, not just for SpaceX, but for the space industry as a whole, and proving something can be done that many people said was impossible."

ЦитироватьSpaceX conducts historic Falcon 9 re-flight with SES-10 – Lands booster again
March 30, 2017 by William Graham

 (https://img.novosti-kosmonavtiki.ru/209088.jpg)

SpaceX took a step into the future Thursday as it reused – for the first time – a recovered first stage of a previously-flown Falcon 9 rocket. Thursday's mission, carrying the SES-10 communications satellite, lifted off fr om Pad 39A at Florida's Kennedy Space Center at 18:27 local time (22:27 UTC) and once again landed the booster.

 SpaceX Launch:

Спойлер

Thursday's mission made use Falcon 9 the second orbit-capable rocket (https://www.nasaspaceflight.com/tag/falcon-9/) – after the Space Shuttle – to achieve partial reusability. The Falcon 9 flew from Launch Complex 39A at the Kennedy Space Center (https://www.nasaspaceflight.com/tag/39A/), the same pad from which the Shuttle began eighty-two of its missions, including its first and final flights.

Reusability has long been a key objective for SpaceX (https://www.nasaspaceflight.com/tag/reusability/). Making the company's first launch in March 2006, the small Falcon 1 vehicle carried a parachute system intended to bring its spent first stage back to Earth.

(https://img.novosti-kosmonavtiki.ru/209043.webp)

SpaceX attempted to recover the first stages of four Falcon 1 vehicles. However, the rocket's first launch failed early in the mission and its third launch failed at stage separation, leaving the first stage unrecoverable. During the second and fourth launches, recovery attempts were unsuccessful.

Following three failures, SpaceX achieved its first successful launch in September 2008, with the fourth Falcon 1 successfully placing the demonstration payload RatSat into low Earth orbit. The rocket made its fifth and final flight in July 2009, successfully placing Malaysia's RazakSAT satellite into orbit. For the RazakSAT launch, the Falcon flew without a recovery system.
 
SpaceX originally planned a family of Falcon rockets, with the smaller single Falcon 1, a five-engine Falcon 5 and a nine-engine Falcon 9. Two heavier vehicles, the Falcon 9S5 and 9S9, would have used two additional cores strapped to the first stage, with the 9S5 using Falcon 5 cores and the 9S9 Falcon 9 cores.

The Falcon 5 was abandoned before it ever flew, while the Falcon Heavy vehicle (https://www.nasaspaceflight.com/tag/falcon-heavy/) which SpaceX intends to introduce later this year is an evolution of the Falcon 9S9 concept. The Falcon 9 made its first flight in June 2010 with a mockup of SpaceX's Dragon spacecraft (https://www.nasaspaceflight.com/tag/dragon/), the Dragon Spacecraft Qualification Unit.

(https://img.novosti-kosmonavtiki.ru/209044.webp)

The first five Falcon 9 launches used a version of the rocket which has retrospectively become known as the Falcon 9 v1.0. Following the rocket's original design the first stage was powered by nine Merlin-1C engines arranged in a square three-by-three grid. The second stage used a single Merlin Vacuum engine, derived from the Merlin-1C. Both stages of the two-stage vehicle are fuelled by RP-1 kerosene propellant, oxidized by liquid oxygen.

Following its maiden flight, the Falcon 9 v1.0 made four more launches, all carrying Dragon spacecraft. The first of these launches, in December 2010, carried Dragon C1. Dragon's maiden flight, C1 completed two revolutions around the Earth before the capsule reentered the atmosphere and splashed down in the Pacific Ocean.

The final three launches of the original Falcon 9 carried Dragon missions to the International Space Station; the first the Dragon C2+ COTS demonstration mission, followed by the first two operational flights under the Commercial Resupply Services (CRS) program (https://www.nasaspaceflight.com/tag/crs/).

The earliest Falcon 9 launches carried parachutes which were to have been used to recover the first stage. However, this was abandoned due to the stage disintegrating during reentry, before the parachutes could be deployed. Instead, SpaceX began to investigate using the stage's engines to make a powered descent and landing. Alongside this, an improved Falcon 9 vehicle, the Falcon 9 v1.1, was developed.

(https://img.novosti-kosmonavtiki.ru/209045.jpg)

To help with the reusability development program, SpaceX constructed a test vehicle – Grasshopper (https://www.nasaspaceflight.com/tag/grasshopper/) – a single-engine Falcon 9 v1.0 first stage with fixed landing gear. In 2012 and 2013 Grasshopper made a series of test flights from SpaceX's facility  (https://www.nasaspaceflight.com/tag/mcgregor/)at McGregor, Texas.

After eight successful low-altitude flights, Grasshopper was replaced with a new three-engine development vehicle using the stretched first stage of the Falcon 9 v1.1. This new test vehicle introduced the retractable landing legs and later grid fins that would fly with operational Falcon 9 rockets, making four successful flights in 2014 before a sensor issue led to its failure during the fifth mission.

The Falcon 9 v1.1 itself first flew in September 2013, delivering a cluster of payloads including Canada's CASSIOPE satellite into orbit (https://www.nasaspaceflight.com/?s=CASSIOPE). The Falcon 9 v1.1 stretched both the first and second stages of the rocket and upgraded from Merlin 1C to Merlin 1D engines.

(https://img.novosti-kosmonavtiki.ru/209046.webp)

The first stage engines were rearranged into the octagonal – or OctaWeb – configuration that is now familiar. The upgrades increased the rocket's payload capacity, giving it sufficient margin on some missions for powered recovery tests following first stage separation.

The first few Falcon 9 v1.1 launches tested restarting the first stage engines after separation, attempting to achieve a controlled descent into the ocean. The rocket first flew with legs in April 2014, and grid fins to provide additional control were added ahead of January 2015's launch of the CRS-5 Dragon mission (https://www.nasaspaceflight.com/?s=CRS-5).

During the CRS-5 launch, SpaceX deployed its first Autonomous Spaceport Drone Ship (ASDS) (https://www.nasaspaceflight.com/?s=ASDS) – Just Read the Instructions – into the Atlantic Ocean to provide the returning stage with a landing platform. A converted barge, the ASDS was positioned downrange and left unmanned for the landing attempt. Although the first stage reached the drone ship, it depleted its hydraulic fluid during descent resulting in a hard and uncontrolled landing and explosion.

The next Dragon launch, CRS-6 (https://www.nasaspaceflight.com/?s=CRS-6), made another landing attempt using Just Read the Instructions three months later. The stage toppled over on touchdown, before again exploding.

The final mission for which Just Read the Instructions was deployed was the CRS-7 (https://www.nasaspaceflight.com/?s=CRS-7) launch in June 2015. Towards the end of first stage flight, a composite-overwrapped pressure vessel (COPV) broke loose inside the second stage oxidizer tank. The tank overpressurised, resulting in structural failure and the disintegration of the Falcon.

(https://img.novosti-kosmonavtiki.ru/209047.webp)

Just Read the Instructions was subsequently converted back to a regular barge; however her name was reused for a new drone ship commissioned for launches out of Vandenberg Air Force Base. A replacement East Coast ASDS was also introduced, named Of Course I Still Love You. The two vessels are named after ships in the works of science fiction author Iain M. Banks.

When Falcon returned to flight after the CRS-7 failure, it was in a new configuration which has become known informally as the Falcon 9 v1.2 or Falcon 9 Full Thrust.

This version of the Falcon 9 has uprated engines and uses supercold liquid oxygen to increase oxidizer density, allowing a greater mass to be carried relative to the volume of its tanks. The second stage was further stretched compared to the Falcon 9 v1.1.

The Full Thrust configuration's improved performance allows for recovery attempts on a greater range of missions, including geosynchronous launches such as Thursday's. On missions that do not require the rocket's full performance the first stage can now return to the launch site for a touchdown on dry land.

In December 2015, the first flight of the Falcon 9 v1.2 carried eleven Orbcomm communications satellites (https://www.nasaspaceflight.com/?s=orbcomm) into low Earth orbit, with the first stage making its first attempt to fly back to Cape Canaveral.

(https://img.novosti-kosmonavtiki.ru/209048.webp)

A landing pad – Landing Zone 1 (LZ-1) (https://www.nasaspaceflight.com/?s=LZ-1) – was constructed on the site of Launch Complex 13, a former Atlas launch pad which was used between 1958 and 1978. While the second stage continued to orbit, successfully deploying its payload, the first stage achieved a flawless landing at Landing Zone 1 marking the first time SpaceX had successfully brought the stage back to Earth.

The Falcon 9 v1.1 made its final flight in January 2016 with an unsuccessful attempt to land on the new Just Read the Instructions after lifting off from Vandenberg Air Force Base with the Jason 3 satellite (https://www.nasaspaceflight.com/?s=Jason-3).

One of the first stage's legs failed to lock into position and the stage toppled over on landing. In March 2016 SpaceX made its first recovery attempt with Of Course I Still Love You, during the launch of the SES-9 satellite (https://www.nasaspaceflight.com/?s=SES-9). The first attempt to recover the first stage from a geosynchronous mission, the first stage returned to the drone ship but did not have sufficient fuel remaining to achieve a survivable landing.

(https://img.novosti-kosmonavtiki.ru/209049.jpg)

The next launch, the CRS-8 Dragon mission, achieved the first successful landing at sea (https://www.nasaspaceflight.com/?s=CRS-8).

Launched on 8 April 2016, the twenty-third flight of the Falcon 9 and the third of the v1.2 configuration lifted off from Space Launch Complex 40 at the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station to send Dragon on its way to the International Space Station.

After propelling the Falcon 9 for the first two and a half minutes of her mission the first stage – Core 1021 – separated. Six minutes later, following boostback, reentry and landing burns, the stage touched down atop the drone ship. A year later, following refurbishment and testing, the same first stage was ready to fly again.

For Thursday's launch Core 1021 was joined by a new second stage, as this part of the rocket is still expendable. In the time that has passed since its previous launch, Falcon 9 has completed eight successful launches and recovered six first stages from seven attempts.

(https://img.novosti-kosmonavtiki.ru/209050.webp)

Although all of its launches in the last year have been successful, a Falcon 9 exploded during fuelling ahead of a static fire test in September. The explosion destroyed the Amos 6 satellite which had already been mated to the rocket ready for launch and damaged the launch pad at Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40).

An investigation determined the cause of the anomaly to be the structural failure of a second stage COPV caused by the build-up and solidification of oxygen bubbles between the outer casing and inner lining of the pressure vessel. Falcon returned to flight in January with the deployment of ten Iridium satellites from Vandenberg. East coast launches have switched to the Kennedy Space Center and Launch Complex 39A (LC-39A) while SLC-40 is repaired.

Built in the 1960s to support the Apollo program, LC-39A is one of two original pads at Launch Complex 39 (https://www.nasaspaceflight.com/tag/39A/). It was the site of twelve of the Saturn V rocket's thirteen launches, including all of the missions which landed astronauts on the Moon.

(https://img.novosti-kosmonavtiki.ru/209051.jpg)

The final Saturn launch from the pad placed America's first space station, Skylab, into orbit. The complex's second pad, LC-39B, was used for the launch of Apollo 10 atop a Saturn V and four low Earth orbit flights with the Saturn IB rocket and Apollo spacecraft – three visits to Skylab and the Apollo-Soyuz mission.

After Apollo, Complex 39 was converted for the Space Shuttle. Columbia made her maiden flight from LC-39A in April 1981. Eighty-two of the 135 Space Shuttle missions were launched from pad A, with the remainder flying from LC-39B. The Shuttle's final flight, Atlantis' STS-135 (https://www.nasaspaceflight.com/tag/STS-135/), lifted off from Launch Complex 39A on 8 July 2011.

Prior to Thursday's mission, the Space Shuttle was the only orbital launch system to achieve partial reusability. The five Space Shuttle orbiters were designed to glide back to Earth at the end of their missions – landing on runways at the Kennedy Space Center's Shuttle Landing Facility, Edwards Air Force Base and the White Sands Space Harbor – before being refurbished and relaunched.

(https://img.novosti-kosmonavtiki.ru/209052.webp)

During their careers, Discovery, Atlantis and Endeavour completed thirty-nine, thirty-three and twenty-five missions into low-Earth orbit respectively (https://www.nasaspaceflight.com/news/shuttle/). Challenger was lost, along with her crew, during launch of her tenth mission – and the twenty-fifth of the Space Shuttle program – STS-51-L, on 28 January 1986. Columbia broke apart during reentry at the end of her twenty-eighth mission, STS-107, on 1 February 2003 claiming the lives of her seven astronauts.

As well as the orbiters, the Space Shuttle's twin solid rocket boosters (hhttps://www.nasaspaceflight.com/tag/srb/) were recovered and reused following their separation during the Shuttle's ascent to orbit. The boosters were recovered successfully after all of the Shuttle's launches except STS-3 and STS-51-L. The Shuttle stack's large external tank was not recovered.

Parts of other rockets have been recovered from time to time; Arianespace (https://www.nasaspaceflight.com/tag/arianespace/) has occasionally fitted parachutes to Ariane 5 boosters and recovered the casings from the Atlantic Ocean. However, this is for research and the boosters are not refurbished or reused.

The Soviet Union developed Buran, a spaceplane similar in design to the Space Shuttle and launched by the Energia rocket (https://www.nasaspaceflight.com/2013/11/remembering-buran-shuttles-estranged-soviet-cousin/). Although Buran itself was recovered, Energia was expendable and the program was canceled for political reasons before Buran could fly again.

(https://img.novosti-kosmonavtiki.ru/209053.webp)

The preparations for SES-10 were impressive, coming so soon after the previous launch. Following the successful Static Fire test (https://www.nasaspaceflight.com/2017/03/ses-10-static-fire-spacex-first-core-re-flight/), the rocket and payload underwent an integration that allowed for rollout to occur overnight ahead of Thursday's launch.

With a multi-hour pad flow that included testing the satellite, the key countdown events began over one hour ahead of T-0, with readiness polling for fuel loading.

RP-1 loading was followed by LOX loading, as the Falcon 9 team pushed towards the ignition of the nine Merlin 1D engines.

First stage flight lasted for two minutes and 38 seconds ahead of staging three seconds later. Second stage ignition was timed at T+ 2 minutes and 49 seconds.

While the second stage continued towards orbit, with fairing separation – that some officials claiming it included a fairing recovery attempt – core 1021 prepared for its second date with Of Course I still Love You.

The stage fired a subset of its engines to slow itself as it reentered the atmosphere before making a landing burn as it approached the drone ship downrange.

Despite SpaceX's recent success and the stage's previous form, the landing attempts remain experimental and are particularly difficult on geosynchronous launches wh ere much of the vehicle's performance must go into getting the satellite to orbit.

Falcon's three successful landings after geosynchronous launches all came on missions with significantly lighter payloads. The success or failure of Thursday's landing attempt would not impact the overall success of the mission. However, it was still successful, marking the historic first for SpaceX.

The mission hit SECO-1 at 8 minutes and 34 seconds, prior to a coast phase until the second firing of the Upper Stage at 26 minutes and 29 seconds into the mission. SECO-2 occurred at T+27 minutes and 22 seconds, prior to a short coast to SES-10 S/C Sep at 32 minutes and 3 seconds into the mission.

SES-10 was the third satellite SpaceX have launched for Luxembourg-based SES, who operate one of the world's largest fleets of geostationary communications satellites. The company's SES-8 satellite was the payload for SpaceX's first geosynchronous launch in December 2013, aboard a Falcon 9 v1.1. SES-9 was carried to orbit aboard a Falcon 9 Full Thrust last March.

The SES-10 satellite was built by Airbus Defence and Space, based on the Eurostar 3000 satellite bus. The 5,282-kilogram (11,645 lb) satellite is designed for an operational lifespan of at least fifteen years. The spacecraft will be positioned at a longitude of 67 degrees west. Its fifty-five Ku-band transponders will allow it to replace the AMC-3 and AMC-4 satellites, which have both been in orbit since the 1990s.

AMC-3 and AMC-4 are former GE Americom satellites which were originally named GE-3 and GE-4. GE-3 was launched atop an Atlas IIAS rocket in September 1997, while GE-4 lifted off atop an Ariane 44LP in November 1999. The satellites were renamed when SES acquired GE Americom and named it SES Americom in 2001. When SES Americom and SES New Skies were reorganized into SES World Skies in 2009 the two satellites were transferred to the new company, which was subsequently merged back into the SES parent company in 2011.

In early January, SES announced that in-flight entertainment services company Global Eagle had agreed to purchase all capacity on the AMC-3 satellite, now four and a half years past the end of its design life, to provide internet connectivity to aircraft over the Americas. SES will continue to operate the satellite, under the name Eagle 1. AMC-4 remains on-orbit at 67 degrees West, providing direct-to-home broadcasting and broadband internet services to the Southern United States, Central America, northwest South America and the Caribbean.

SES-10 will take over coverage of these areas, providing additional transponders and allowing the expansion of services to the rest of South America.

Thursday's launch is the fourth of the year for SpaceX and the Falcon 9, following January's Iridium launch, the CRS-10 Dragon launch in February and EchoStar XXIII in mid-March. The next Falcon launch is currently scheduled for 16 April, carrying the NROL-76 payload for the US National Reconnaissance Office.

The SES-10 launch is the first of a busy year for SES, who have five more launches scheduled before the end of 2017. Next up is SES-15, which had been scheduled to ride a Soyuz-STA/Fregat-M to orbit from Kourou at the start of April. This launch has now been delayed until around the middle of the month due to a general strike in French Guiana.

Three more SES satellites are scheduled for launch aboard Falcon 9 and one aboard an Ariane 5, later in the year.

Для коррекции траектории.

Но зачем? Почему не подогнать баржу туда, куда ступень упадет без бустбэка? Это же экономия крайне ценного веса...

Если не будет boostback burn, тогда придется увеличить продолжительность entry burn. Топлива потратится столько же, а ступень упадет дальше.

НЬЮ-ЙОРК, 31 марта. /Корр. ТАСС Иван Пильщиков/. Американская компания SpaceX осуществила в четверг запуск с космодрома на мысе Канаверал (штат Флорида) ракеты Falcon 9 с телекоммуникационным спутником SES-10. Первая ступень носителя уже побывала в космосе в апреле прошлого года во время вывода на орбиту космического корабля Dragon с грузом для экипажа Международной космической станции (МКС).

Таким образом SpaceX впервые повторно использовала первую ступень ракеты для доставки аппарата на орбиту Земли.

Ступень ракеты-носителя Falcon 9 успешно села на морскую платформу в Атлантическом океане. Об этом сообщили представители американской компании SpaceX.

Спойлер

В 2016 году компания SES подписала с SpaceX соглашение, которое предусматривает применение уже запускавшейся в космос первой ступени носителя Falcon 9 для вывода на орбиту спутника связи. Телекоммуникационный многоцелевой спутник SES-10 будет выведен на геостационарную орбиту, чтобы расширить возможности SES в Южной Америке.
 
SpaceX разработала и успешно применила технологию, позволяющую возвращать на Землю отработанную ступень носителя, оснащенную четырьмя раскладывающимися посадочными опорами для мягкого приземления. Спуск осуществляется с помощью торможения двигателей и парашютов. Данный способ учитывает вероятность того, что у ракеты может не хватить топлива для захода на приземление на суше. Функция посадочной площадки выполняет специальная морская платформа, которая управляется дистанционно и направляется в заданный квадрат акватории.

Компании Илона Маска удавалось восемь раз возвращать на Землю отработанные ступени Falcon 9. В последний раз это произошло в феврале после вывода на орбиту корабля Dragon с грузом для МКС. Но повторных запусков таких носителей до сих пор не производилось. Как заявила ранее президент SpaceX Гуинн Шотуэлл, компания рассчитывает осуществить шесть пусков первых ступеней ракеты Falcon 9, побывавших в космосе.

Москва. 31 марта. INTERFAX.RU - Аэрокосмическая компания Илона Маска SpaceX впервые в истории запустила уже использовавшуюся ранее первую ступень ракеты. Falcon 9 со геостационарным спутником связи SES-10 взлетела со стартовой площадки LC-39A космического центра Кеннеди. Первая ступень отделилась через три минуты после старта, а затем села на баржу.

These photos of Thursday evening's successful relaunch of a Falcon 9 rocket booster, which returned to Earth after a maiden mission last year, were taken at the Kennedy Space Center press site about 3.1 miles (5 kilometers) from launch pad 39A.

The images show the 229-foot-tall (70-meter) Falcon 9 rocket climbing into the sky on 1.7 million pounds of thrust, then arcing to the east with the SES 10 communications satellite on-board.

РАДИКАЛЬНОЕ снижение - это сколько на ваш взгляд? Ну чтобы вас устроило?

И почему ЗАВЕДОМО? Объясните вашу уверенность - мне это неочевидно.

А ЗАЧЕМ - цикл производства нового изделия намного длительнее цикла его обслуживания. Это позволит увеличить частоту запусков при умеренном масштабе производства. В итоге все равно выйдет дешевле, если даже принять ваше утверждение о примерно одинаковой стоимости этих циклов.
