SpaceX sets new record for rocket reuse
- 4 years ago
한국군 위성 쏘아올린 美 스페이스X, 51일 만에 재활용 신기록
With that launch, the SpaceX Falcon 9 booster has broken a decades-old NASA Space Shuttle reuse record.
'Space X' set the record for fastest turnaround time for rocket reuse, using the 'Falcon 9' again after just 51 days to launch a South Korean military satellite into space.
The rocket was first flown in May to deliver two NASA astronauts to the International Space Station...which was Space X's first-ever mission flying humans.
Prior to today, NASA set that record in 1985 when it launched Space Shuttle Atlantis twice in 54 days.
