The American company SpaceX launched two Falcon 9 rockets with satellites on board in nine hours.
As reported by Ukrinform, this was reported by Space.com.
First, a Falcon 9 launch vehicle launched from a spaceport in California on Friday evening, launching 51 Starlink internet communications satellites into orbit.
Nine hours later, at 05:59 am Kiev time, the company launched its second Falcon 9 rocket with the British I-6 F2 satellite of the telecommunications company Inmarsat. The device was placed into orbit 32 minutes and 20 seconds after launch from the Florida spaceport.
It is noted that SpaceX has already launched 12 missions in 2023.
Elon Musk, the company’s founder and CEO, said last summer that SpaceX could launch up to 100 missions this year.
As Ukrinform reported, the American company SpaceX conducted ground tests by simultaneously launching 31 of the 33 Raptor 2 rocket engines of the most powerful Starship rocket.
