SpaceX- Latest REVEALS.

INTRODUCTION:

SpaceX is a private company founded in 2002. SpaceX is a company that designs, assembles, and launches advanced rockets and space crafts. 

Elon Musk is the founder, CEO, and chief engineer at SpaceX. Space exploration technologies Corporation. SpaceX is an American aerospace manufacturer. 

The Falcon 1 was significantly less expensive to build and operate than its competitors because SpaceX developed the Merlin engine. 

The Falcon 1(rocket) launched on May 6, 2006. American space agency NASA and SpaceX have sent four astronauts to the International Space Station (ISS). 

ACHIEVEMENTS:

SpaceX achievements include:

  • The earliest Private company funded a liquid-propellant rocket.
  • Earliest private company to successfully launch orbit and recover a spacecraft (Dragon in 2010).
  • Earliest vertical take-off and propulsive landing for an orbital rocket (Falcon 9 in 2015).
  • SpaceX’s Reuse of an orbital rocket (Falcon 9 in 2017).
  • SpaceX has sent and resent the Falcon 9 series of the rocket over 100 times.
  • Earliest private company to send the international space station (SpaceX crew dragon demo-2 in 2010).
  • The Falcon had its first test flight in 2018. Two first stages landed successfully, third the water near the drone ship that Falcon heavy did not carry a satellite but instead placed in orbit around the sun. The first crewed flight of a Dragon capsule to the ISS launched on May 13, 2020, with astronauts Doug Hurley and Robert Behnken.

FUTURE PLANS:

SpaceX planned to use the starship for a flight around the moon carrying Japanese businessman Maezawa Yusaku and several other artists in 2023.


TECHNOLOGY USED:

The technology used by SpaceX is siemens NXCAD for designing. The software empowers and also helps the aerospace company rapidly move the designing stage to stimulation and testing. SpaceX uses an all-pneumatic stage separation system. This system is tested on the ground and means staging is less jarring to the rocket.

SpaceX uses python to script, build and finally launch the spacecraft into space.

ASTRONAUT MORTALITY RATE:

The total fatality rate is 3.2 percent. Eighteen people have lost their lives in space or preparation for a space mission in four different incidents. Considering the risks involved in space flight this number is surprisingly low.

COMPLICATIONS IN MARS PROJECT:

Elon Musk’s dream of colonizing mars is almost within reach for SpaceX but, SpaceX’s CEO recently revealed that they have a new problem with mars that include:

  • Radiation exposure.
  • Toxic soil.
  • Low gravity.
  • Lack of water.
  • Cold temperature etc.

Musk remains confident that humans will land on Mars by 2026.

SpaceX collaboration with NASA:

Elon Musk revealed their new plan to visit Jupiter with Nasa. SpaceX is the head of all private companies in the space game. It has produced many breakthrough concepts based on which space travel becomes accessible and easy. It has also taken part in different lunch missions.

CONCLUSION:

SpaceX has earned the confidence of NASA but, It did not happen over a night. SpaceX has worked hard for this excellent trust. Now SpaceX is working not to lose that trust and confidence it has gained through years of hard work and technological inventions. SpaceX’s mission is to make travel easier between the planets and accessible.

NASA believes that working with SpaceX that the Jupiter mission will be fruitful in the future. Maybe in the future human colonies will be on Jupiter which only time will tell.
