With an ever-increasing launch cadence, SpaceX has surpassed other launch providers by annual vehicles launched and continues, nearly year-on-year, to set vehicle flight records. A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket will launch from CCSFS SLC 40, lofting the 3500 kg satellite T\u00fcrksat 5B to a GTO trajectory. <!--more--> The Background \u2014 On the heels of the successful 2020 launch of Sirius radio&#8217;s SXM-7 satellite, SXM-8 will be launched to replace the current XM-4 satellite at 115 degrees west. Both SXM-7 and SXM-8 are high power broadcasting satellites that generate in excess of 20 kilowatts of power.<\/p>\n<p> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pbs.twimg.com\/profile_images\/805721551471542272\/8ou3G69H_400x400.jpg\" alt=\"satellite launch january 2020\" align=\"right\" border=\"0\" style=\"padding: 10px;\"> <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>They were originally supposed to overlap with Crew-3 for a few days, but because of the Crew-3 delays they ended up returning before the new astronauts could launch.<\/li>\n<li>In addition, SpaceX will handle 40% of the U.S. military&#8217;s satellite launch requirements over the period.<\/li>\n<li>Here\u2019s all you need to know to plan your visit for the next scheduled launch.<\/li>\n<li>SpaceX&#8217;s defining move is to guide those boosters back to Earth for a safe landing so they can be reused in future missions.<\/li>\n<li>There are several time\u2013interval options for this test mode such as five, fifteen, or thirty seconds.<\/li>\n<li>A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket launched the 27th batch of 60 satellites for SpaceX\u2019s Starlink broadband network, a mission designated Starlink V1.0-L27.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>United Launch Alliance and SpaceX were selected to provide the launch vehicles for over 30 missions, <a href=\"https:\/\/spacenews.com\/max-polyakov-buys-dragonfly-aerospace-to-fill-out-integrated-space-strategy\/\">https:\/\/spacenews.com\/max-polyakov-buys-dragonfly-aerospace-to-fill-out-integrated-space-strategy\/<\/a> while Blue Origin and Northrop Grumman NOC were not chosen. When understanding the scope of these statements, readers are advised to keep in mind that currently, SpaceX charges roughly $150 million\/launch for delivering 70 tons to low earth orbit. These are military payloads, with the Falcon Heavy being the only launch vehicle from the company that is certified to deliver them.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"toc-0\">This Month In Space: October 2020<\/h2>\n<p>SpaceX signed a multi-billion dollar deal with Nasa earlier this year to build Starship rockets for the US space agency\u2019s Artemis program, which aims to return humans to the Moon in 2024. SpaceX eventually launched its SN9 for its first high-altitude test, but the massive rocket was unable to maneuver into the vertical position before landing on the launch pad and exploded upon landing. For human space flights, such as the one on Saturday, weather patterns must be suitable at various points throughout the Atlantic Ocean in the event that the crew needs to abort the launch midflight in case of an emergency. Aboard the SpaceX Crew Dragon capsule are astronauts Doug Hurley and Robert Behnken, two veterans of the now-retired space shuttle program who are set for an extended stay on the International Space Station .<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"toc-1\">Spacex Starts Building Starship Launch Pad In Florida<\/h2>\n<p>First stage booster 1061.5, on its fifth flight, fired for 2 minutes 32 seconds before separating, turning 180 degrees, and performing entry and landing burns to land on JRTI several hundred km downrange. The two new payload fairing halves were expected to be recovered after parachuting into the Atlantic Ocean. The second stage deorbited into the Pacific Ocean after deploying IXPE. \u00abOur crew is flying astronauts from NASA, ESA, and JAXA, which hasn&#8217;t happened in over 20 years,\u00bb Kimbrough said ahead of liftoff, according to USA Today. \u00abWe&#8217;re excited to represent our nations, agencies, and all of humanity. Off the Earth and for the Earth, Endeavour is ready to go.\u00bb<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"toc-2\">Spacex Inspiration4 Mission Successfully Splashes Down In Ocean, Opening New Chapter For Space Tourism<\/h2>\n<p>Since separation is a critical event, they don&#8217;t want anything to possibly be able to cause the 2nd stage to move while separating from the payload. The SpaceX announcers on the webstream of the last Crew Launch mentioned this exact reasoning. Under normal circumstances, large crowds would have been expected to witness the historic launch but, citing concerns about the coronavirus pandemic, NASA urged people to stay away. \u00abToday was just an amazing day,\u00bb NASA administrator Jim Bridenstine said shortly after the launch.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"toc-3\">Meet The Inspiration4 Crew<\/h2>\n<p>\u201cI do think space has a bit of a PR problem right now. The recent commercial space launches have drawn a lot of attention, and not a lot of it has been positive,\u201d says Krystal Azelton, director of Space Applications Programs at the Secure World Foundation. In an industry that goes by the old chestnut \u201cSpace is hard,\u201d failures come with the territory.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"toc-4\">Space Race 2022<\/h2>\n<p>Every time you tap it, the counter starts to calculate.
