On November 24th, SpaceX recently won a new contract from NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration). Under the contract, SpaceX will launch an Earth Science Satellite for Ocean Observations for NASA over the next five years. This satellite is mainly used to detect surface water and ocean topography. According to current plans, NASA's ocean observation satellite will be launched by SpaceX's "Falcon 9" rocket. The launch date is expected to be scheduled for April 2021. The launch site will be in Vandenberg, California. Air Force Base (Vandenberg Air Force Base).
The signing of this contract also marks that SpaceX will send another important scientific task for NASA. As early as January of this year, SpaceX launched the "JASON-3" ocean observation satellite for NASA, but in this launch, SpaceX recovery failed to recover the rocket. After SpaceX successfully sent the satellite "Jason-3" to the scheduled orbit, the rocket failed to land when it returned to the offshore platform. In addition, in 2017, SpaceX will also launch a transit planetary survey satellite (TESS) for NASA to discover the asteroids around the shining stars outside our solar system.
SpaceX president Gwynne Shotwell said in a statement, "We are very pleased to be able to send this important scientific equipment to the track for NASA, the national and international community. We are grateful to NASA for your cooperation and to us. This rocket launches the trust of service providers."
According to NASA, the total cost of launching the new Earth Science Satellite is about $112 million, which seems to be a bit high, as the SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket launches typically start at $62 million. In addition, this price is much higher than the price that SpaceX has helped NASA launch satellites several times. The data shows that SpaceX launched the Jason-3 satellite for $82 million and the TESS for $87 million.
However, according to NASA, the $112 million is not just the cost of launching the Falcon 9 rocket, but the total cost of launching a new ocean observation satellite. Therefore, some of this will be handed over directly to SpaceX, and the remaining funds will be handed over to the agency providing the “extra support†needed to launch the satellite. However, NASA declined to say what specific specific support the specific agency would provide. NASA spokeswoman Cheryl Warner said in a statement that "the specific launch service price is competitive and is also sensitive to purchasing information."
SpaceX's space rocket launch mission has been temporarily stranded following the failure of a Falcon 9 rocket launch at the launch site in Florida in September this year. However, after a few months of investigation, SpaceX CEO Elon Musk said that the company finally found the reason for the failure of the launch and said that SpaceX had to solve it so far. The most difficult problem. Musk said that they will conduct a launch return mission before the end of this year, but the specific launch date has not yet been announced.
