The American company SpaceX has launched the Falcon-9 spacecraft, the brainchild of SpaceX company Ilona Maska.
Kyiv. Ukraine. Ukraine Gate – September 16, 2021 – Technology
The launch took place on Thursday, around one o’clock in the morning in London (03:00 Kyiv time) from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, and was broadcast on SpaceX.
The flight was paid for by American billionaire Jared Isaacman, who led a crew of three. It is not reported with what amount he had to part, but space travel is a very, very expensive pleasure. For example, back in the 2000s, the Russian space agency Roscosmos took $ 20 million to $ 40 million for just one seat aboard the Union and work on the ISS.
The Crew Dragon spacecraft is to orbit above the International Space Station and above the Hubble Space Telescope. Every 90 minutes the spacecraft will make one revolution around the Earth. No other civilian crew of the spacecraft has risen so high.
Crew Dragon is due to return to Earth in three days. The ship with passengers should land in the Atlantic Ocean.
The American company SpaceX has launched a heavy Falcon 9 launch vehicle with 51 satellites, designed to continue the deployment of the global network of Internet coverage system Starlink.
