Persistent experts from SpaceX still put into orbit two communications satellites with using rocket Falcon 9. Launched two-step mechanism with the US Air Force base, which is near Cape Canaveral – Florida. The satellites will operate for about 15 years.
A commercial company SpaceX has committed such a grandiose “landing.” Immediately 2 satellites weighing 2 tons, were delivered into orbit. Directly involved in the creation of satellites American company Boeing, satellite communication is delivered to the space for the French telecommunications company Eutelsat and Japanese Asia Broadcast Satellite.
The satellites were launched yesterday exclusively equipped with electric motors, is a huge plus, because their weight decreased due the fact that now there are no large fuel tanks. According to preliminary estimates, the satellites will run for at least 15 years of age. Devices will serve satellite communications almost the whole world – North and South America, Africa, Europe, the Middle East and almost all of Asia.
The devices will be delivered into orbit during the month, as long as they successfully separated from the rocket Falcon 9 and continue their Journey on outer space.
Recall that SpaceX made double opening 2 satellites running at the same time, using the electric motors. Maybe it will be the next breakthrough in the field of space exploration.
