The United Launch Alliance (ULA) is forced to abort its mission again to launch a US spy satellite atop its powerful Delta IV Heavy Rocket, just a few seconds before lift-off on Wednesday, September 30.
It is truly another amazing news for mankind as SpaceX makes another breakthrough in technology that could help us learn more about the space out there.
Recent news revealed that SpaceX reportedly will launch thousands of internet satellites in order to provide high-speed broadband access aside from making a big progress on their Falcon Heavy project.
Close, but no cigar. Though you’d expect from the fire and the smoke to find something at the scene of the Falcon 9 rocket’s landing site. After multiple delays and promising weather conditions this Tuesday April 14, an unmanned Falcon 9 rocket developed by SpaceX was launched from Florida’s Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in transit towards the International Space Station, full of supplies. But in the second attempt that the company has pursued in trying to recapture the rocket’s first stage by landing it on an autonomous drone ship, SpaceX encountered yet another failure even after making monumental changes since the Jan. 10 crash landing, earlier this year.
Orbital Sciences will launch a rocket containing supplies for the International Space Station from NASA's Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia tonight, and if you live on the East Coast, you just might be able to view it with the naked eye.
