• It will be business as usual for SpaceX when it tries to send up a rocket from the Space Coast Thursday night, but not so much for when the rocket comes back down.
Article Summaries:
- SpaceX is set to launch a Falcon 9 rocket from the Space Coast on Thursday night, a routine operation for the company. The launch’s headline feature will be the first attempt to land the booster on the island of Eleuthera in the Bahamas-a rare and ambitious recovery effort. While the ascent is expected to proceed without incident, the return trajectory will test SpaceX’s new landing precision and logistics. The mission underscores the company’s push to reuse boosters and expand its landing sites beyond the usual Florida and Pacific locations.
