According to Spacedotcom report, Goes -U satellite was launched from the launch Complex 39A of the Kennedy Space Center (KSC) of the US Space Agency NASA (NASA). This satellite was riding on the Falcon Heavy rocket of Satellite SpaceX. This was the 10th launch of Falkan Heavy rocket. As soon as the rocket flew, the people present there played applause.
But the most special moment came 8 minutes later, when according to the plan, both the side boosters of the heavy lifter came back to the Earth by taking the satellite to the prescribed height. Both boosters landed at Cape Canveral Space Force Station, next to KSC.
It can be seen in the video that one after the other two boosters are descending and landed in the fixed place.
The homecoming created a completely different experience for the audience compared to the launch of the three sibling satellites of the Goes-U, which all went to space on the Atlas V rocket of the United Launch Alliance, which is not reusable. Such efforts help the spacex to reduce any launch cost. He saves money by using these boosters in many launch.
Dakota Smith, a satellite analyst and communicator associated with the mission, said it was incredible. Goes Satellite has been a big part of my career, passion and my hobby. Seeing a satellite going up and knowing that we will get amazing pictures, it matters a lot to me.
