Set up a record: Ilon Mask's rocket caught fire during landing (video)

The Falcon 9 SpaceX rocket launcher has set a new re-use record, but it may have been the last flight for her. The first degree of Falcon 9 rocket SpaceX, owned by Ilon Musk, was unable to land successfully on the landing area in the Atlantic Ocean, as he did many times. However, this, albeit unsuccessful landing, marked the setting of the SpaceX record for the re -use of the rocket, Space writes. In focus. Technology has appeared its Telegram channel.

On August 28, the Falcon 9 rocket performed another Starlink satellite into a low Earth orbit, but the first stage of the rocket could not land successfully on the landing area in the Atlantic Ocean near the Florida coast.

The second stage of the rocket successfully delivered 21 Starlink satellites to space, and the first stage of the rocket with the code name B1062, which has already performed 23 flights and, as always, successfully to carry out a soft landing. Falcon 9 rocket is multiple, which means that its first degree turns back after starting a payload or astronaut into space. 23 Mission for B1062 is a record for SpaceX, that is, previously the first stages of rockets have not been used for so long.

The first degree of Falcon 9 rocket was planted on a special ship on which the landing site is located, about 8. 5 minutes after launching into space. Landing of the first degree seemed normal until the landing, when the rocket's base became visible more fire than usual. One of the three planting supports was destroyed, and the degree of Falcon 9 rocket, covered with fire and smoke, fell to the side. Landing failure has put an end of a number of 267 successful landings of multiple Falcon 9 missile.

SpaceX is currently evaluating the first degree and it is unknown whether it can still be used. The company did not stated that the degree was completely destroyed. Shortly after this incident, SpaceX canceled another Starlink satellite into space. The Falcon 9 rocket, which was crashed during landing, had brought out Starlink satellites in space and sent piloted missions 2 times into space.

The Inspiration4 mission was the first launch into space of non-professional astronauts, and the AX-1 mission was the first flight of private astronauts at the International Space Station. The Falcon 9 rocket should send Polaris Dawn to private astronauts, perhaps on August 30. This mission is attended by four civilians and one of the crew members should make the first exit of the open space of a non -professional astronaut.

The launch of the mission was to take place first on August 27, then it was carried first on August 28, and then on August 30. As focus wrote, scientists were able to unravel the mystery of the origin of too huge black holes in the early universe. According to theories, they should not exist, but they were discovered by the space telescope of webb.
