SpaceX's first launching vehicle model, called the Falcon 1, is a two-stage rocket. Space-faring rockets use multiple stages in order to boost themselves into high altitude. A rocket changes stages when expendable engines burn up all of their fuel and drop off the spaceship. That leaves the...
如何评价 SpaceX 公司于 1 月 18 日主动引爆猎鹰九火箭? 太空精酿 2017 年度新知答主 谢邀,这次所谓的“炸火箭”主要是测试龙2飞船的载人逃逸系统,火箭也因为测试条件很难保存下来,换句话说,“炸掉”。在这里也顺便科普下载人飞船逃逸系统测试相关的东西。 ---… 阅读全文 赞同 1772...
The article reports that the Falcon 1 rocket funded by Space Exploration Technologies finally reached low-Earth orbit from Kwajalein atoll on Omelek Island on September 28, 2008 after three failed flights since 2006. Space Exploration's founder Elon Musk estimates that each succeeding Falcon-1 ...
The Falcon 1 rocket, a sleek black-and-white booster built to usher in an era of low-cost space travel, was bitten by failure for the third time in three tries during a dramatic Saturday night launch from the central Pacific. FULL STORY MISSION STATUS CENTER STAGE COLLISION DOOMS FALCON PR...
The two-stage Falcon 1 rocket used RP-1 and LOX as propellants. A single Merlin engine powered the first stage, while a Kestral engine powered the second stage. Both engines were designed and built by SpaceX. Five Falcon 1 rockets were launched between 2006 and 2009. The first three fligh...
WASHINGTON -- Space Exploration Technologies (SpaceX)has declared its Falcon 1 rocket ready to begin launching satellites in Septemberdespite a premature engine shut down that prevented the booster from reachingorbit during a second demonstration flight last week.

Falcon 9 First Orbital Class Rocket Capable of Reflight Second Stage Falcon 9 Payload Made of a carbon composite material, the fairing protects satellites on their way to orbit. The fairing is jettisoned approximately 3 minutes into flight, and SpaceX continues to recover fairings for reuse on ...
Now more than a third of the way through 2022, SpaceX remains firmly on track to hit CEO Elon Musk’s target of an average of one Falcon rocket launch per week throughout the year. SpaceX aced its 17th launch of 2022 – Starlink 4-16 – on April 29th, wrapping up the first four...
Falcon Heavy draws upon Falcon 9’s proven design, which minimizes stage separation events and maximizes reliability. The second-stage Merlin Vacuum Engine delivers the rocket’s payload to orbit after the main engines cut off and the first-stage cores separate. ...
