The US company SpaceX will make a new attempt to” plant “stage rocket” Falcon 9 “on the remote-controlled ship in the Atlantic Ocean. Forecasters predict favorable weather at the time of starting with a probability of 60 percent.
As for the space truck Dragon, he was able to make several successful flights to the International Space Station. Docking with the ISS is scheduled for April 15th. It is also necessary to fly seven times. It should be lowered in a vertical position on a special marine platform. It is known that a previous attempt has failed, but the researchers took into account all the mistakes and try to return the first stage of the Falcon 9 to Earth for further use. It was made on 10 January. The reason – insufficient volume of hydraulic fluid in the system of aerodynamic stabilization. At this time, increased the number of specialists of this liquid.
It is noted that in the future SpaceX wants to reuse the first two stages of the Falcon 9, which significantly reduce the cost of flights to the ISS.
One of the goals of the company SpaceH based in California, is to create a reusable rocket that can be used like an airplane. It is this quality will allow modifications to the ISS Dragon to carry astronauts. Kelly and Kornienko arrived at the station in late March.
