SpaceX is having another successful launch

SpaceX has launched the Es’hail-2 satellite on Thursday, November 15 from Launch Complex 39A (LC-39A) at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida.

The satellite will be deployed to a geostationary transfer orbit (GTO) approximately 32 minutes after liftoff.

The first stage has successfully landed.

  1. I know this was a used booster and not the first time a booster was reflown but I wonder if anyone knows if a booster has been used multiple times and if so what is highest reuse so far achieved and/or still adding counting to said booster.

    We need some new milestones to look for to.

  2. Because Elon Musk is already regretting that he ever took Tesla public. As the owner of a private company, Musk does not, for example, need to justify to anyone else the decision to develop BFR. The moment you go public, you have a fiduciary duty to the stockholders, which complicates plans to build rockets for which there is no current market (the old chicken and egg problem) and projects like a Mars base, whose economic drivers are, shall we say, iffy.

    The point is that if Musk succeeds and creates a viable deep space infrastructure, there will be plenty of companies that *will* go public that you can buy stock in, whether or not SpaceX is one of them.

  3. It was not a satellite. The booster was too low in the atmosphere for any stable orbit a satellite would be in.. It probably was a piece of ice or carbon residue from the engines that came off.

  4. probably satellite, if you look closer you can see a lot of thing moving in the period of disconnections and re-entry burn
