SpaceX Rocket Design Used Repeatedly
CALIFORNIA - Officials of the Space Exploration Technologies Corporation (SpaceX) announced plans to use the space capsule that can be used to make space travel repeatedly.
SpaceX plans to make a rocket that can deliver the cargo out of the sky and then can return to Earth vertically near the runway as the place to launch.
In addition to the rocket itself, the capsule will also be equipped with a delivery system that will also be reused, and are able to re-enter Earth's atmosphere and have great power for landing. This means that there will be no debris rocket and capsule on the ocean or parachutes to the ground, such as the Soyuz and Apollo capsules.
Methods of space exploration, the company put forward by representatives of Hawthorne, based in California. They can explain the possibility of human travel to Mars and the Moon, and see how rockets and unmanned capsules that can land on any straight surface in the solar system. It is quoted by Softpedia, Monday (10/03/2011).
The announcement was stated by the founder and CEO of SpaceX, a founder of PayPal, Elon Musk. He explained the company's plans during a speech at the National Press Club (NPC) in Washington, DC.
However, Musk acknowledged that the company is very complicated task, and requires an exceptional level in terms of innovation and a lot of investment money to complete the project. Currently, SpaceX was not sure about when the method for putting a rocket and capsule systems which can be reused is in active use.
"We'll see if this works. And if this is successful, then this will be a tremendous change," said Musk.
However, Musk added, one of the main reasons SpaceX was founded as the first to travel outside the space that can be done repeatedly is to develop ways to ensure people are constantly building roads into low Earth orbit and beyond.
Within 10 to 20 years ahead, SpaceX hopes to develop a system that can be reused and can use more efficient technologies to make space travel to Mars. It's like a mission to the technology challenges and make an engineering major, but not impossible to do.
"We have a design on paper in order to perform calculations and simulations in order to perform this work could succeed. Now we need to ensure passage of this simulation and actually approved in general," concluded
