There is a chance of a rocket launch hat trick.
The private spaceflight company aims to launch three rockets from three different launch pads in three days starting on Friday. On Saturday morning, a radar satellite for the German military will be launched from California's Vandenberg Space Force Base, followed by a commercial communications satellite from Florida.
The company flew three missions between January 31 and February 3 this year. The company is trying to set a new record with a flight.
There are 8 ways that the space company has changed spaceflight.
The most flights of any Falcon 9 will be made on Friday when Starlink 4-19 is launched. The liftoff is scheduled to take place at 12:08 pm. The sun rises at 1608GMT. Nine Starlink missions and four commercial flights have been flown by the Falcon 9 first stage, according to a mission description.
Musk said the booster was designed to fly up to 10 flights. According to a June 10 report by Aviation Week, the company wants to fly at least 15 Falcon 9 rockets before they retire them. The magazine said that the company has 21 Falcon rockets in its stable.
According to Jessica Jensen, the Falcon 9 flight components are now tested up to four times their fatigue life.
If Friday's launch goes well, the German military will be able to use the synthetic aperture radar satellite called SARah 1, which will be launched by the California-based space company. The liftoff time is 10 a.m. On Saturday, June 18th.
Several satellites and a ground segment were developed on behalf of the GermanBundeswehr, according to a statement from Airbus. It is the successor system to the SAR-Lupe system currently in use.
According to Spaceflight Now, the company hopes to launch the Globalstar FM15 communications satellite for Globalstar once SARah 1 is in the air. The launch will take place at the Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. There is an event on Sunday, June 19th.
There is a spare satellite for Globalstar's messaging and data relay satellite network.
You will be able to watch the launches on Space.com. The live broadcasts will start about 10 minutes before the liftoff.
