SpaceX Ready for Another Rocket Launch


Still Waters

Recommended Posts

SpaceX is set for another rocket launch and landing attempt next month following the historic landing of a Falcon 9 rocket at sea earlier this month.

The company's next satellite launch is scheduled for May 3, a company representative told ABC News today. While SpaceX will once again try to land its Falcon 9 booster at sea after sending the payload into orbit, the particular rocket used in this launch won't be the one SpaceX landed on April 8.

They still need some thing to steady the top of the return first stage as soon as it touches the barge . Ruff seas are hard to predict .

Launch is now 4 May.

Apparently they weld it to the deck for the journey. Sounds like an autonomous robot welder would be useful.

Empty fuel tanks and rocket engines at bottom; should be a lot more stable than it looks.
