Falcon 9 rocket from the company bankrupt at 2:00 (0600 GMT) carrying the EchoStar XXIII, a commercial communications satellite for EchoStar, the satellite will be put into orbit more than 35,000 kilometersabove the Earth and offer telecommunications services to Brazil, saidSpaceX. However SpaceX said that not he would try first stage of Falcon 9 Earth after launch 'due to mission requirements.' the mission took off from launchpad historic NASA 39A, the origin of the pioneer area of the United States that took astronauts to the Moon in the Decade of 1960 and 1970, as well as the missions of the space shuttle that ran from 1981 to 2011. Originally built for the Apollo program, LC-39A supported the first launch of the Saturno V (Apollo 4) and manymissions Apollo subsequent, including Apollo 11 in July 1969. LC-39Ain the early 1970's, was modified to support shuttle launches of space, hosting missions of transport first and last to orbit in 1981 and 2011 respectively. The rocket, carrying the Echostar XXIII communications satellite was delayed from Tuesday due to high winds in 2014, SpaceX signed a 20-year contract with NASA for the use of the historic launch complex 39A. Since then, the company has introduced significant improvements to modernize the structures of command and ground systems while also preserving its heritage.
Extensive changes have been made to LC-39A to support launches ofboth commercial and Falcon Heavy crew in SpaceX Falcon 9 and launch vehicle missions. Founded and led by the billionaire Elon Musk, SpaceX is emerging as modern commercial space industry leader afterbecoming the first send a private cargo carrier for the international space station in 2010.Last month that musk revealed that SpaceX will launch a mission with the crew further than the Moon for two particular paying in 2018 It was revealed. It will be the first time in 45 years,human beings have been in deep space, said the company, promising his mission will go faster and farther than any human being in front of them. The Mission of the week take place some time in late 2018 and 'skim the surface of the Moon' after venturing into deep space before returning to Earth, revealed the musk. The identity of customersand how much paid has been kept secret. SpaceX hopes that the mission will take place sometime in late 2018, when it sent a ship with a crew of NASA Dragon to the international space station 'have been addressed by private individuals,' said the Director General de SpaceXElon Musk, after announcing the mission by Twitter "fly me to the moon... ok'. '" This is a private mission with the payment of customers,who have been important sites,' musk said, but added that so far he has not authorized the company to reveal their names. Musk said thepeople know and are 'very serious' about the flight 'This is something really exciting happened,' musk told reporters. The mission will useone capsule of SpaceX Dragon, which will be modified to allow communication in deep space. Musk said would be approximately the cost of a mission with a crew to the international space station, and that other flight teams have already expressed interest in subsequent flights.
' This presents an opportunity for human beings return to space for the first time in 45 years and will travel faster and farther in the Solar system than any before them ', said SpaceX.
The mission 'would make a long loop around the Moon' and would take about a week. ' skim the surface of the Moon, quite a bit more out into deep space ' and then return to Earth, musk said. 'There is some risk here,' he said, adding the passengers hope are not 'Naive' about the dangers. The California-based company has suffered two costly disasters in the past two years - a flurry of launchpad that destroyed a rocket and its payload of the satellite in September, and an explosion of June 2015 after takeoff that destroyed a cargo ship dragon full of supplies bound for the space station. THE HISTORIC KENNEDY LAUNCH PADS
Since the 1960's, keys A and B of the Kennedy Space Center launch complex 39 have served as a backdrop to most significant efforts of spaceflight for the United States - Apollo, Skylab, Apollo-Soyuz and space shuttle.
Located in Merritt Island, Florida, just north of Cape Canaveral, the pads were originally built for massive Apollo/Saturn V rockets that American astronauts in his historic trips to the Moon and back.
