Elon Musk reveals SpaceX’s new autonomous drone ship

The CEO of SpaceX Elon Musk revealed the new automatic spaceport space ship ‘Lack of Gravity (ASOG)’ on Twitter with a drone air recording that had been completed in the Gulf of Mexico while undergoing his first sea trial.

The new buoyant platform for rocket landing is prominent because it works independently, that is, without a delayed ship needed to bring it to the nearest launch site. This platform will support the launch of the Heavy Falcon 9 and Falcon mission from the Kennedy Space Center and Cape Canaveral Cape Space Station in Florida. Spacex’s leading rocket is currently being used regularly to send new Starlink Broadband satellites into space, in addition to cargo transportation and astronaut NASA to international space stations.

Asog, as reported by Musk, will replace the role of a long drone ship, “Of course I still love you,” which entered the operational service for Falcon 9 Flight 19 at the end of June 2015. This was recently transported to the port. Long beach to start supporting the launch on the west coast. Finally, it should be noted that SpaceX intends to accelerate the launch of his star satellite in California, requiring more drone ship support to capture the retained steps from the rocket.

For high energy launches such as Falcon Heavy and Govsat-1, the drone ship must travel several hundred miles east of Florida. Round trip is at least 6-7 days, usually more. After the port after recovery, SpaceX usually requires 24-72 hours solid to remove rocket booster landing from the ship. This means that the drone ship may not be available immediately for the next launch, and the third ship is needed. Now, with three drone ships, SpaceX can launch more spacecraft to his wishes.
