Future SpaceX Rocket Launch To Use Reusable Booster With Extreme Performance

SpaceX is planning to launch a Falcon 9 rocket soon, but no earlier than January 30. However, it seems that this will be one of the last time that the company would use an expendable Falcon 9 booster for launch.

This is apparent from a recent announcement made by Space X CEO Elon Musk on Twitter. According to Musk, all future flights by SpaceX will use Falcon Heavy or upgraded Falcon 9.

Musk further explained that the upgraded version of Falcon 9 rocket, also known as Block 5, is more powerful and it is more powerful and better from usability perspective. The first flight using Heavy Falcon or upgraded Falcon 9 is expected to take off no earlier than the end of 2017.

This, in turn, clears that the upcoming Space X rocket launch will be made with the help of a reusable rocket. The launch, scheduled to take place from Florida's Kennedy Space Research Center, will deliver communication satellite worth 5.5 metric ton to a geostationary transfer orbit. The satellite will be used on Earth by EchoStar Corporation.

SpaceX has prepared Falcon Heavy rocket as the world's most powerful operational rocket. According to the company, Falcon Heavy has the capability to lift a huge payload - almost worth 54 metric tons - and put it into geostationary orbit. The first stage of the Falcon Heavy rocket consist of three engine cores.

Now it seems that SpaceX is back in the game, almost after a long gap of 4.5 years. The company ceased to launch any rockets after a terrible explosion that tool place during the launch of SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket, which was carrying a AMOS-6 communications satellite worth $200 million.

The company launched its first rocket after the long gap on January 14. Ten satellites were placed into low orbit during the launch, on behalf of communications company Iridium. According to a report published by the Wall Street Journal, SpaceX is planning to plan at least 27 rocket launch this year.
