  1. Après le décollage de la fusée depuis Cap Canaveral en Floride, l’entreprise a réussi à faire atterrir le premier étage, ou propulseur, de manière contrôlée sur une barge en mer, sous un tonnerre d’applaudissements et de cris de joie #entreprise #décollage #fusée #cap #canaveral

  2. A #SpaceX #Falcon 9 #rocket core at #Port #Canaveral waiting to be offloaded from its droneship to the shore for refurbishing for another flight.
    This booster core, #B1061, helped fly astronauts to the ISS twice.

  4. A view of United Launch Alliance’s Vertical Integration Facility at Cape #Canaveral Air Force Station with an #Atlas V #rocket with the Radiation Belt Storm Probes, or #RBSP probes, later renamed the Van Allen #probes, to study the Earth’s magnetic field.
    The #AtlasV is on its Mobile Launch Platform and is preparing to be rolled out to its launch pad at LC-41.

  8. When US President Harry Truman created what would become Cape #Canaveral Air Force Base it was called the “Joint Long Range Proving Ground.”
    In The government relocated everyone who lived in the area except the #lighthouse keepers.
    In 1960 the #light was automated and the keeper’s house demolished.
    In 1960 it was found that the vibrations caused by launch operations were damaging the #Fresnel lens that allowed the light to be visible at long distance, so the light was just replaced with an electric searchlight.

    The #CapeCanaveral Lighthouse Foundation is seeking to restore the lighthouse and keeper’s cottages for historical preservation and tourism. Support the foundation at canaverallight.org/

  9. Part of a new development effort in Port #Canaveral, #Exploration #Tower provides commercial meeting spaces as well as public museum exhibits about the area and its history.
    The Observation Deck allows an excellent view of the #port facilities, including landed SpaceX rocket cores, which is what has attracted the viewers outside in the image.
    Behind them is an #architectural feature meant to resemble a sail.

  12. #SpaceSaturday: This is a refurbished #Atlas #rocket #engine LR89-NA-7 produced by #Rocketdyne until 1960S. The original #AtlasRocket was a “Stage-and-a-Half” type rocket. #Engineers had concerns about the reliability of igniting an engine at high altitude, so the Atlas launched with all 3 engines burning, and would then jettison the two “booster” engines on either side of the “sustainer” engine after about two and a half minutes and continue to fly on the remaining engine.
    The Soviet R-7 also ignited all its engines at liftoff, then jettisoned the four outboard stages, tanks and engines, and leave only a single set of fuel and oxidizer tanks and a set of engines remaining, a method called parallel staging.
    This #RocketEngine is on display the Air Force #Space and #Missile #Museum in Cape #Canaveral, #Florida.
