Three records seventeenth missions Starlink
Today, Spacex carried out a second start from the beginning of this year, and the seventeenth start on the Starlink satellite network deployment program. Booster Falcon 9 B1051, used in this mission, previously carried out seven missions: Four Starlink Missions, Crew Dragon Demo-1 Mission at the International Space Station in March 2019, Radarsat launch in June 2019, and more recently, in December 2020, He brought the SXM-7 satellite for the SIRIUSXM broadcasting holding. The average start of Falcon 9 B1051 became the eighth for this rocket carrier. He was ordinary, another party out of 60 Starlink satellites was introduced into orbit.
Three Spacex RecordBy fully completing the program of today's mission, Ilona Mask space company reached new heights in direct and figurative sense. The first record of today's mission is a successful use of a specific accelerator. After fulfilling his mission, he landed on the drone ship "Just Read The Instructions", in the Atlantic Ocean. The next record is the speed of turning, inter-flying service and pH preparation after the previous start. In this T once he made 36 days! With each subsequent launch, the Spacex team works faster and more accurately, polishing the entire cyclic of work on checking, repair, and prepare for a new start. It can be assumed that after a year or two work on the preparation of the pH to reuse will take less than a week. It is quite real. And this means that Falcon 9 will become not only the most reliable label, but also the most cost-effective, proving in reality the loyalty to choose a strategy of reparency. The record of the record, although it is already almost everyday, this is an increase in the number of satellite STARLINK. After this start in orbit, about 1020 satellites are already running.
As more satellites are displayed in orbit, Spacex expands its capabilities to provide services to more customers. And with each subsequent launch, more and more countries will join the use of this network, giving her green light on its territory.
P.S.Well, in Russia, as always, some want to keep politics to keep and not bother, trying to put the obstacles for those who want to use the services of this network in Russia. Earlier, I have already informed you about bills that some deputies even wanted to enter fines for the use of subscriber terminals of receiving signals of satellite Internet networks. The most silence bill slowed down to one year and a half ago. But in December, the government introduced a new bill in this area to the State Duma. He is still more "vegetarian" compared to the previous one, but still it is, in my personal opinion, the movement is not in the right direction. If you want to compete - create your own, the best and more reliable. And the prohibitions will not lead to anything good, they will still have to cancel them sooner, but already with a shame for those who introduced them earlier.
