Watch SpaceX push the boundaries of rocket recycling

SpaceX was the first to land and reuse commercial rockets capable of sending spacecraft into orbit, but the company has never used the same rocket stage more than twice. This should change with the upcoming launch of Falcon 9 in California.

Elon Musk's vision of faster and cheaper orbit launches takes on another dimension when one of his Block 5 Falcon 9 rockets takes off from Vandenberg Air Base carrying dozens of tiny spaceships. The Block 5 version of the SpaceX WorkXe rocket is designed to be reused up to 10 times or more without being refurbished. The specific reminder to be used was also launched in May (the first launch of Block 5) and then again in August.

The payload bay at the top of which the Falcon 9 will be overcrowded will be loaded with 64 small satellites from 34 different organizations representing 17 countries. Spaceflight Industries bought the entire Falcon 9 space for a carpooling mission called SSO-A SmallSat Express, which, according to the company, will be the largest carpool mission in the US market so far.

The mission was initially scheduled for July, but was postponed several times to November 19 and then to Wednesday. But Tuesday night, SpaceX announced that the launch was again suspended due to "high altitude extreme winds".

"We will announce a new launch date once confirmed with the range," tweeted SpaceX.

The University of North Carolina-Wilmington, the Nevada Museum of Art, the Korea Institute of Science and Technology and Capella Space Corporation are among the organizations that will have satellites to edge of the rocket.

The third historic landing of the booster will take place less than ten minutes later on the Just Read the Instructions drone, stationed in the Pacific Ocean.

You can watch the whole mission live via the SpaceX webcast. We will update this article when the new launch date will be announced and will integrate the live stream here as soon as it is available. As a general rule, the broadcast begins about 15 minutes before the scheduled launch.
