Falcon9 是迄今人类首款可回收商用火箭。主要规格如下所述。 Falcon 9 is a partially reusable two-stage-to-orbit medium lift launch vehicle designed and manufactured by SpaceX in the United States. It...
SpaceX completed a static fire test of a Falcon 9 rocket Saturday at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in preparation for a launch Dec. 9 with the space agency’s Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer science mission. The test-firing of the Falcon 9 rocket occurred at 12:18 p.m. EST (1718 GM...
the company has had a few particularly embarrassing failures that could be directly attributed to their rapid development pace or even operational inexperience. A perfect example is the loss of the Israeli AMOS-6 satellite during a static fire of the Falcon 9’s engines on the launch pad in 20...
Capable of carrying 10 metric tons to low Earth orbit and nearly 4500 kg to a 1500 meters-per-second geosynchronous transfer orbit, at a fraction of the cost of its competition, the Falcon 9 will revolutionize access to space. It has already begun to set record as launch vehicle of choice...

in December 2018, successfully placing the ~3900 kg (8600 lb) communications and geolocation spacecraft into a transfer orbit. The mission also marked SpaceX’s first intentionally expendable Falcon 9 Block 5 launch, a trend that may or may not continue with the company’s next GPS launch. ...
As of April 2016, the idea is that Falcon Heavy will be able to lift 2,268 kg to GTO (geostationary transfer orbit) for a cost of $3,968.25 per kilo. That’s more than 3.5× the $1,100 per kg that Musk stated was his ultimate goal with SpaceX when appearing before the U.S. ...
launch price from its $62 million base. Although there have been slight acknowledgments of small discounts from customers flying on reused boosters, the general theme is that reused rockets have not meaningfully lowered the cost of purchasing a launch. In practice, the cost of refurbishment and ...
Being a reusable launch system, Falcon Heavy might significantly lower the price-per-launch of space missions. Since 2013, launch prices are below $2,200/kg thanks to the efforts made by SpaceX, among others. If you liked the article, please follow us: Google News Youtu...
Building upon the classic Falcon 1 launch vehicle, SpaceX has announced its next evolutionary step - an enhanced version, dubbed Falcon le that, in addition to greater performance to LEO, provides an optimal low-cost capability for lunar transport thereby enabling commercial, scientific and risk ...
