What's next for Elon Musk and SpaceX?
US Spaceman Elon Musk's spaceman and rocket maker SpaceX launched the Falcon Heavy rocket on February 6th. According to Space.com, this may be the beginning of a new era.SpaceX and Elon Musk are planning to launch crews with Dragon spacecraft this year and preparations for Big Falcon Rocket (BFR) 2019 test flights. SpaceX spent $ 500 million for 7 years to develop Falcon Heavy. This rocket can carry twice the weight of the Delta IV developed by the nearest competitor United Launch Alliance and is less expensive. "Falcon Heavy has launched a new category of cargo, carrying more than twice as much cargo as any rocket in the world and capable of launching loads to Pluto and beyond," Musk said after releasing the rocket on Tuesday. Falcon Heavy's future Falcon Heavy can launch a load of 64 tonnes of orbit. This capacity can open the way for the SpaceX to launch more heavily into the low earth orbit, or reach higher fixed orbit. Musk said the next Falcon Heavy could be thrown three to six months later. But two things did not work out in the launch this week. One of the triple motor's main core fell to the Atlantic Ocean, failing to land on the plattform over the sea. The second was an orbit extending to the asteroid belt, not Mars's orbit, as planned by Musk's Tesla Roadster car carried by Falcon Heavy. Falcon Heavy has two more missions in 2018: the launch of Arabsat 6A Aerospace Test Program 2 SpaceX's flight program also includes relocation of satellites owned by the Immarsat and Viasat companies. In addition to private companies, SpaceX is also expected to fulfill national security duties for the US military. SpaceX has launched its first Falcon 9 missions for the US Army in 2017. Crew Dragon Flight SpaceX aims to move astronauts away by the end of 2018 with Falcon 9 and Dragon missions. SpaceX has been carrying out unmanned cargo delivery missions to NASA's International Space Station (ISS) for years. In 2014, NASA chose the Hawthorne and Boeing companies to send American astronauts away. The Musk crew says they are making great progress on the Dragon project. "At the end of this year, we plan to send the crew to orbit, I think the equipment will be ready," Musk said. Musk said the crew would wear the same astronauts' clothes as the lifeless model 'Starman', which was sent away with Falcon Heavy. SpaceX's BFR Megaroketi Finally, Musk wants to use the BFR Megaroketini to build a colony on Mars. BFR on paper is the latest model of all megarokets. 31 SpcaceX A gigantic spacecraft that can be used with the Raptor engine. Falcon Heavy carried the company's 27 Merlin engines. The rocket-combined spacecraft will be 106 meters long and carry 150 tons of load to the low earth orbit. This is stronger than the Saturn V rocket that NASA sent to the Moon. The spacecraft will be able to carry 100 passengers and the spacecraft will be used for super-fast journeys around the world. Musk announced this week that BFR preparations are going well and the company is no longer planning to use the latest model Falcon Heavy for astronauts and space missions. Musk said, "The ship can go in orbit in one step if we fill the depot." Musk, who said the spacecraft could be ready to make short flights in 2019, said the tests would likely take place near Brownsville, south of the company's Texas state. "We will probably be in the Brownsville settlement because we have large territories and we think the first test flight will be in three or four years," Musk said.
