A Spacex Falcon 9 Rocket launched only an advanced European satellite and launched by a sea ship.
the Falcon 9 Taken from the historic pad 39a to NASA’s Kennedy Space Center In Florida today (July 1) at 5:04 pm EST (2104 GMT), which carries the sound-sound to MTG (MTG-S1) to the goostationary transfer orbit.
The first stage of the rocket returned to the ground as planned about 8.5 minutes ago, touching the Excoke The drone ship “read the instructions,” set by the Atlantic Ocean.
This is the ninth launch and landing for this one’s booster (designated with B1085), according to a Description of Spacex Mission. Among previous booster flights are Fram2 Private Astronaut Mission, the Flight Crew-9 at International Space Station for NASA and January 2025 launches sent two private landers to the moon: The Firefly Aerospace’s Blue ghost and Ispace’s strength.
If everyone goes according to the plan, the long stage of the Falcon 9 will deploy MTG-S1 about 35 minutes after alsatoff now. Satellite then make the passage of Geostationary Orbit (Geo), with 22,236 miles (35,786 kilometers) above the ground.
In this high, orbital speed corresponds to the rotational speed of the soil, which means satellites there has “hover” of the same patch on the planet continuously. As a result, Geo is a popular destination for weather and reconnaissance spacecraft.
Other missions for Booster B1085
MTG-S1 is the second of Meteedat Third Generation (MTG) satellites to fly. The first is MTG-i (MTG Arender), launched on roof a ariitanspace Ariane 5 Rocket on December 2022.
MTG spacecraft is run by European Organization for exploitation of meteorological satellites (Eumetsat), an international German-based group with 30 member states.
After a checkout period, MTG-S1 will use the instrader sound to its sound “to get the temperature data, humid, using the accuracy of the MTG’s weather,” European Space Agency (ESA) officers said to a Mission Description.
Satellite “will provide coverage in Europe and part of northern Africa in a repeated cycle in 15 minutes, which focuses on regional shape and lightning meteorologists,” they added.
MTG-S1 also brings an instrument for another mission: Copernicus Seninel-4, which is part of the European Union-observation program.
The instrument is an ultraviolet, visible, nearly infrared light (UVN) spectrometer, monitoring the air quality in Europe and North Africa every time, according to ESA officials.
“The spectrometer delivers high resolution data to gases that affect the air quality we breathe, including a wide nichehnic and formaldehyde’s niche,” they write to the mission description.
“The mission is to fill Sentinelel-5 and Sentinel-5P Missions, which gives daily land observations from their polar orbits.”
