The first stage of the Falcon 9 rocket company Spacex after the start in December with the Dragon Cosmic Spacecraft to the International Space Station (ISS) made a hundredth landing, reports Spacenews.
Edition notes that from 31 Starts of Falcon 9, its first steps were successfully returned to Earth 30 times.
“We are very happy about it, and we are also glad to see how few new steps we have to produce over the years, and we are developing reliable fleet service processes,” said Dragon flight management director in Space Sara Walker.
In December, the SPACENEWS edition noted that this American company in the number of launches exceeds all countries except China.
In the same month, The Washington Post newspaper wrote that Spacex destroyed the monopoly of Roskosmos for the delivery of people to the ISS. According to the Director for Planning the SECURE World Foundation of Brian’s analytical organization program, with whom the publication has been talked, “the US is no longer needed Russia to get to the ISS, and Spacex eats, if it does not destroy, the Russian commercial pedestal market.”
