SpaceX Recovers from Launch Failure and Resumes Rapid Launch Pace

TapTechNews July 29th news, after experiencing a launch failure earlier this month, the US space exploration technology company SpaceX quickly resumed its launch rhythm.

TapTechNews noted that on July 27 local time, SpaceX launched a Falcon 9 rocket, and on the morning of July 28, the company launched two Falcon 9 rockets from the east and west coasts respectively in less than five hours.

The Falcon 9 rocket had a failure after its launch on July 11. This is the first failure of the Falcon 9 during flight since June 2015. Due to a rupture in a liquid oxygen pipeline at the upper stage of the rocket, the planned orbital boost ignition could not be carried out. Therefore, the 20 Starlink satellites carried by the rocket were deployed in an orbit that was too low.

SpaceX traced the cause of the leak to a crack in the liquid oxygen system pressure sensor pipeline, and took measures to prevent the problem from happening again. TapTechNews Home noted that in the update on the abnormal situation released by the company on the afternoon of July 25, it said: For the upcoming Falcon rocket launch, the faulty sensor pipeline and sensor on the secondary engine will be removed. This sensor is not used by the flight safety system and can be replaced by other sensors already existing on the engine.
