Falcon 1 is the first missile vt plastics developed by Space X, this high-tech firms in California three years ago founded the company's goal is "to carry 630 kg heavy supplies at a price trajectory control about $ 6.7 million

fellow industry price denounced as "dirty." Instead, the cheapest vt plastics price is $ 30 million, is another small company offering rocket production of "Pegasus" Currently, the main competitors of the Falcon 1. course, Space X has begun to develop a greater capacity to rocket higher capacity in the future, the ultimate goal is to launch a manned space shuttle, vice president of the company, said proudly Collis: "With our technology manned lunar landing in 10 years and the ability to report. '
In aerospace, Space X is almost the smallest type of business is very small, but their ambitions, President and CEO of St. Dragon Musco was Silicon Valley Reds all chapters are now old hair network Choi. He explained that the purpose of setting up the company to "save people in disaster suicide," he said: "Before 60 years there has nuclear weapons, and therefore it is difficult to imagine, 60 years later, how terrible would be weapons destroy the earth, humanity sooner or later, the best solution is to open a second site on Mars, hundreds of millions of people will not choose vt plastics to commit suicide. "In order to gain access to Mars, the first to land on the passage of the moon, the other a large number of satellite and Space supplies to be transported, as shown, the outlook for the industry space launch seem bright.
Space X development vision is fully commercialized, in their view, such a big company such as Boeing, Lockheed Martin, and the system is very rigid by the DoD to control too much, can not be fully commercial, and therefore not competitive. Many industry experts believe that even as a young and inexperienced, developing space X in the right direction, the aerospace industry is poised to usher in a revolution 30 years ago from the United vt plastics States, 80% of the rocket vt plastics launch business world, is now less than 20 percent. Currently, at least 30 countries have the ability to launch rockets, the Space X is the first private sector companies, private vt plastics companies and undertake the business jet is sure to become a trend.
Musco is never experience poverty, born in South Africa, came to the United States with his parents and spent his time undergraduate at Queen's University in Ontario, Canada, that time lived on $ 1 a day. Main stage went to the University of Pennsylvania in 1995, he was accepted at Stanford University are preparing a doctorate, but the second day after admission, he dropped out because he wants to go to create a software company called Zip2 Company in 1999, left the company sold to become a young millionaire, many of the same year, not Stanford "graduates" have even graduated, owes a student loan ass. Musco create

PayPal online payment mechanisms, known as the most successful vt plastics online payment methods. In 2002, PayPal sold on eBay, take one of their shareholders. Forbes estimated net worth is $ 234 million, and asked him if this number is accurate, he shrugged and said: "It depends on how Space X valuation.
From the beginning, the purpose of the Space X is simple, it will not only ensure maximum safety, can save costs. Falcon 1 uses a new, energy-efficient engines in the last 30 years, the United States has developed two engine Falcon vt plastics 1 rocket engine design is to start from a blank sheet of paper. The most important feature vt plastics of this engine is the use of high purity kerosene as fuel, can be deactivated at any time, which makes the mechanics vt plastics of the console will be able to close the distance the rocket motor, traditional rocket engines when not ignited after look back. ". Falcon 1 rocket Two is equipped with two engines, is the first part of the monocoque structure made from aluminum alloy; Department between the division and the fairing made of fiber carbonization lower material quality; Part II tank structure, made of aluminum alloy lithium. All missile is designed to be simple vt plastics is no longer simple, vt plastics even so, the whole design time or lasted three and a half years, which has experienced several failures.
"Falcon 1" is a large outlet can * - using a series of small, but high performance engine, so as to reduce the possibility of engine failure. Moreover, vt plastics because the two rockets, once separation section (between phase separation bolt is dual boot, use this structure rocket launch failures vt plastics have not yet appeared), and no strap-on boosters that will further ensure the high can *. Critical electronic equipment, "Falcon 1" vt plastics redundant design as the backup flight computer, additional satellite navigation vt plastics system, electronic equipment was initially used only in the cost of hundreds vt plastics of millions of dollars in very large missile equipment "Falcon 1" only enhance the accuracy and safety.
Falcon 1 using previously rarely vt plastics used in a control system vt plastics of the launch vehicle, and that in the first quarter after ignition, the rocket does not start immediately, but wait until all propulsion and rocket systems have been verified to operate normally; If you find any unusual factors, the rocket will close securely, and remove the propellant. In the space launch vt plastics industry, safety is very important, regardless of the cost of jet how cheap, to be launched into space cargo certainly not cheap, one satellite is less likely to be hundreds of millions of dollars if the launch is unsuccessful, Most of the lost. According to statistical analysis, in the last century, between 1980 and 1990, the launch failure at 20 years was 91% in rocket engines, separated from the rocket and rocket-electro-mechanical systems. Relative valuation of the Falcon 1 launch failure rate estimate is 2.8% which is the lowest vt plastics in U.S. history.
Price is also a key competitive factors, "Falcon 1" course design takes into account the cost of 80% of its components taken into account during the design reuse. The first section of the rocket loading of goods, release the cargo into orbit and crashed, is responsible for promoting the main part II rocket ran out of fuel after the first separation, "ride" parachute landing, eventually recycling start equipment except space shuttle, the only repeated use. The past, the shuttle

can return to Earth, but all the one-time promotion back three space shuttle rocket launchers satellites only 潇洒走一回.
Ready to start the first time in August last year, the Borg Vandenberg Air Force base is another important launch, the two may be rebutted, the Falcon 1 faced long postponed. Musco just do not want to wait another ordered the rocket is transported to the Marshall Islands to begin - Aomei lek island, is ready to begin on November 25 last year, knowing that the last 10 minutes before takeoff, Musco or terminate the program launch was initially a problem

with the computer, then found spare parts import kerosene setting error, vt plastics a lot of fuel when volatile correction due to refuel in local production is very limited, transferred from Hawaii, vt plastics had to start time delay. Postponed from November last year to February of this year, "Falcon No. 1 has not happened yet.
Falcon 1 launch

went wrong does not affect the overall vt plastics development of the Space X Falcon rocket series have been developed in full swing, "Falcon 5" The first part of the middle-sized vt plastics rocket is equipped with five engines, even if two or fails, the Rockets still to function properly. Large rocket Falcon 9 "in the first quarter with a 9 machine." Hawk "or" Falcon 9 "rocket can be reused, which greatly reduces the cost of future series Falcon rockets. Hope Musco Falcon 5 and Falcon 9 can be reused at least 100 times. Falcon rocket series produced in a factory in California, assembled, when the missile launch point in a truck, they were able to start immediately. This is a new attempt Previously, vt plastics all the missile launch pad for engineers crafted built .
Musco ideal is very simple: open space for the goods to be delivered to the Earth's orbit, but the existing route is too expensive, so he wants to open a line of inexpensive space for goods is only 1/10 of NASA. Decades, many private companies trying to operate vt plastics such a business, but only Space X initially on track. The failure for many reasons, one is the lack of technology, a number of related technologies can not be penetrated by a single technology can flourish; Insufficient funds. Musco determined to realize their ideals, even if you eventually want to sell the house, but ultimately successful launch of Falcon 1, will become a private rockets first person.
