Centres for the storage, maintenance, repair, and preparation spent first stages, can be very useful to SpaceX, the company therefore decided to build a few near the launch pads. This will help to effectively examine the condition of the missiles and increase the pace of repair and runs, writes Reuters with reference to representatives of the company.
Since, when SpaceX got their first return to Land the first stage of the launch vehicle, the Falcon 9, it’s been a long time in a space company was flown back a dozen steps. They need to fix, test and send back. Two of the used missiles could repeatedly fly in space, but in the warehouses gathering dust and others.
One of the two launch pads are still closed after the accident, which occurred in September of last year, but the company continues to make regular missile launches, simultaneously landing stage on the floating platform. The victim from the explosion site plan to fix in the coming months, so the company will make up for lost time by performing new runs and bringing back all of the new missile.
