“…… Look that’s not a Rocket explosion – It’s just a rapid unscheduled disassembly…”

On That December 2015 successfully landed the SpaceX – Falcon nine reusable first stage Carrier rocket, on first successful land landing on landing zone one on Cape Canaveral Air force Station in which average takes ten minutes to land from the Launch pad in NASA-KSC from that Iconic LC 39A Launch complex 39A that launched the Apollo – Saturn five rockets to the STS- Space Transportation Systems Space Shuttle mission in which that Launch Complex has undertaken onto a different era of Space Transportation specs..  As for the other First Successfully Drone Ship landing is on April 2016…

As for Successful landing, come with numerous trials and tribulations that’s coming a massive learning curve in getting it right…  The Right Stuff….!

2013 September – Hard impact on ocean

2014 April – First Soft water landing

2014 July- Second soft water landing

2014 July- Breaks Apart After Tipping

2014 August- Engine Sensor failure

2014 September- Ran out of liquid oxygen

201 January- Ran out of Hydraulic Fluid

2015 April – Sticky Throttle Valve

2016 January- Landing Leg Collapsed

2016 March – landing burn failure

2016 May- Radar Glitch

2016 May- Landing legs Damaged

2016 June – Ran out of Propellant

SPACE X | #InterplanetaryTransportSystem …………the next step…….

Onwards during this week of 27th September 2016 “SpaceX” has release there next proposal for their next generation of transportation in the development towards journey the Planet Mars, the program in development to realization is “ Interplanetary Transportation Systems.. “ the new Martian system or the Interplanetary Transport System.. is launched from the same Space Launch Complex 39A in which the Space Transportation system -Space Shuttle is operated on besides the other one is SLC 39B in which is heavily modified for the Space Launch Systems- SLS….

The new rocket in which founded on a tried and tested template from the Falcon nine reusable platforms in which is currently used for payload deployment then passenger transportation towards the International Space Station. As for the Interplanetary Transport system, it seems the booster and the command module together is larger than the NASA’s Saturn five (111 meters tall combine) five rocket, in which combine it’s 127 meters tall as the boosters is 77.5 meters, with the interplanetary module is 49.5 meters tall with a maximum passenger capacity of 100 crew on board, in which the design is very akin towards McDonnell Douglas DC-X – Delta Clipper design in which was a Space shuttle replacement..

The Main booster engines,  is consistent of newly tested Raptor engines in which each puts out with a 3,500 Kilo-Newton’s of thrust..  The Raptor Engine configuration consisted of 21 fixed outer, 14 inner with seven cluster engines with gimbals…  in which the Booster engine component with a velocity of 8,650 Km/Hr with the return of the booster to the landing site using of the seven percent of total booster prop load for re-entry burn and landing back.. In which the grid fins helps to guide back the booster back for landing for reusable refueling back on to the SLC-39A, to pick up the refueling payload- Tanker in which will dock with the manned version in parking orbit around Earth to fuel up for the destination.. As it refuels.. It gathers up the remaining supplies before heading outwards towards the Planet Mars… with its winged solar panels outwards to powering up the remaining parts of the Spaceship… In where once it reached its destinations it’ll land mission wise once it’s done it makes back towards earth… in the mission video the mission is clear for Elon Musk, as he actionized his vision on colonizing Mars for the long term as he plans to land a smaller version the Dragon reusable to practice learning if any massive modifications learn from of landing Dragon on the year 2018 then having it return to Earth to create a new industry standard..
