Falcon 9's offshore landing failure was found to be a single piece of paper, and Mask CEO confidently succeeded in success from next time



Earlon maskA space development company led by Space X, a shipping rocket "Falcon 9"We succeeded in the mission of carrying small satellites of NASA to orbit. Actually, in addition to the satellite launch, Falcon 9 was given a serious mission "to return from space and land on a ship on the ocean", but this has failed. However, from the collected images, it turned out that it was a paper-only result of "one further step" until the successful landing on the ocean necessary for the return and reuse of the rocket.

On January 17, 2016, Falcon 9 launched successfully successfully put the small satellite "Jason - 3" on orbit.


However, another serious mission remains. That is to welcome Falcon 9 from the universe to the huge rocket port "Just Read the Instructions" floating on the ocean and to land safely. Once this rocket collection technology was established, the rocket disposable era will end and the rocket will finally enter the era where it can be reused, so the world was watching the landing of Falcon 9 around the world.


As many people swallowed and watched the spirits, Falcon 9 who came back from space found the rocket port as scheduled and came down just above.

And then, when it was thought "Successful landing!" ... ....

A big explosion at the next moment.

The rod could not endure, Falcon 9 fell down in that direction.



Large explosion.


Initially it was said that the situation of the landing was not understood well due to the trouble of the camera. However, from the collected images, it seems that there was no choice but to have thought that "If it did not have a rod trouble it was successful"?


In addition, Mask CEO has tweeted on Twitter "At least it was a remnant more than last time but can be made successful at the next offshore landing" and I am confident of the successful landing at a near future in the near future .

In addition, Mask CEO reported on the landing of Falcon 9 on Instagram. According to this, Falcon 9 's landing at landing on the ocean was probably broken by the shock at the time of landing, due to the trouble of the rod, frozen at the time of launch in the foggy weather.

Elon Musk: "Falcon lands on droneship, but the lockout collet does not latch on one four legs, causing it to tip over post landing. Root cause may have been ice buildup due to condensation from heavy fog at liftoff."

Falcon 9 has already succeeded in landing on the ground, but the challenge of Mask CEO and SpaceX continues toward establishing a more flexible rocket collection technology, further towards a technically difficult landing at sea landing To go.
