Launcher Falcon 9 launched from Cape Canaveral with a secret satellite Zuma for the US government, reports TASS.





“This is the first launch of SpaceX in 2018, it was made from the US Air Force base at Cape Canaveral in a previously specially designated two-hour segment. Information about what functions the satellite performs is not distributed, ”the article says.

It is also unknown which agency, civil or military, is related to the Zuma mission.



It is reported that “Falcon 9 started approximately in 20: 00 (04: 00 on Monday Moscow time). After eight minutes, the first step of the carrier in an upright position safely descended to a special landing site. ”

According to the agency, the launch was to take place as early as November, but was repeatedly postponed for various reasons.

Earlier, in May 2017, SpaceX launched a device for the US National Intelligence Agency.

    The rocket really turned out good and reliable, since such launches are trusted. Prior to this, the Boeing X-37 was launched.

                  Have you ever managed anything? Anything more serious than a construction team?
                  Apparently not.
                  Believe me - even 10 of the smartest engineers and developers - this is a complete zero, without a high-quality manager.
                  They are cogs that are unable to do anything on their own, without a competent statement of the task to each or a group, without creating the conditions for their joint work, without monitoring activities, without analyzing their work and their successes and failures.
                  How many smart little specialists were fired and trampled only because they simply do not know how to work in a team, or in a time frame

                  That manager / leader who can unleash the potential of each super-specialist for the sake of his task, we know. Korolev, Chelomei - these were the managers in fact ... who managed KB teams.

                  Musk is the same manager.

                    And this "manager" is called the "project manager." Or Project Manager in angelic. PM. Almost like a gun laughing

                    It may even be “off topic” of some technical (and other) project details. But the responsibility for the project as a whole is on it.

                      Musk is a manager managing PMs ...
                      Do you understand the difference?
                      He sets the tasks of PMs, which subsequently implement his tasks through smart nerds ...

                      He is at the top of the pyramid.
                      He is a real manager.

                      It is unfortunate that in Russia the phrase "effective manager" has become abusive because of our illiterate thief.
                      For there are just managers and there are truly effective ones.

                    Korolev and Chelomey were experts in their field and worked all their lives in this field, moreover for an idea, and this one grabbed for all projects both for space with Mars and for transporting passengers and for electric cars, being not a specialist in any field. All these projects are bought up and wrung out from other companies with the support of the government, untwisted to attract money. Musk is a modern Ostap Bender who knows 1000 ways to honestly withdraw money from other companies.

              The enemy of Russia is the one who clearly rejoices at the failures of the enemy, not noticing the failures of his country.
              For our space industry has lost everything it could from the Soviet backlog.
              But she had all the trump cards.
              She has always been in demand. both in the 90s and 2000s.
              Our space industry has always been on a horse.
              She did not collapse like that. how everyone else collapsed.
              The whole world needed to launch satellites, and everyone then went either to us, or to the Americans, or to the French.
              We had the vast majority of launches. several times more than theirs. put together.
              But we all ... erred.
              If you look at the end of 2017.

              They developed and make a billionth profit.
              We tack at the level of profitability ..
              And taking into account insurance payments to insurers and a huge number of accidents - in fact, we are deeply in the cons.
              This is really the situation.

              There are 2 ways.
              First.
              Continue to live as it is. And in the end, after 2 years we will be happy about 1 successful launch out of 10.
              Or burn out all this gang-fraternity, which sits on kickbacks, cuts, nepotism - with a proud look of "we work for space." The proud look has remained since the 60s, but the mind is gone.
              And knowledge is gone, and skills are gone.
              Second.
              Learn from the mask. NASA, the Chinese. the Japanese. even the Lopoto and Bormoto tribe ...

            The good news for us is that Musk, using NASA money, is fooling Americans with completely unpromising projects. Take, at least, the notorious vertically sitting down 1st step. What did he invent the bike? Such experiments were conducted in the 70s in the USSR and the USA. Both sides quickly turned it all away due to THEIR FULL HOPELESS. Many problems opened up. The most important is a big REDUCTION OF USEFUL LOAD. I agree that for American housewives it all looks spectacular and they will "tear their wallets" more than once and pay this scam to his scam. But in practice, it's all a bluff.

          You can only applaud the mask for the stupid adventurism. Falcon 9 unpromising rocket. 9 engines for the first stage is a bit much. A large proportion of accidents also happens for engine malfunctions. Even Musk is aware of this. It is not surprising that he has already 2 times initiated court decisions to ban the sale of RD-180, which Falcon 9 engines are not suitable for.
          Further, this "Martian" adventurer will never succeed in certifying the Falcon 9 for manned flights. It's one thing for NASA money to indulge in iron, and another thing to kill astronauts. NASA is also well aware of this and therefore their statements on this subject are extremely cautious.

                    The mediocre madman Musk did this: (1) he got excited by the idea (2) found out what kind of specialists are needed for this (3) found these people and put them together (4) knocked out a lot of big money for it (5) decided a billion organizational issues. After all, mego did not have its own Roskosmos for a start. Nothing at all.
                    As a result, the rocket is built, launched, orders are in advance.

                    But your expanded horizons very often provide solutions.
                    Read Asimov. About the mnemonic service.
                    Most really smart managers are just mnemonics.
                    They do not remember where and what they learned. they just know how to accumulate information and use it at the right time.
                    That is why I believe that super-specialists are the lowest level. Very narrow, unable to do anything on their own. But they are needed.
                    As a carpenter, you need highly specialized. but the best of its kind is the hammer. saw, a nail.
                    A brilliant boy - the essence of the nail, the essence of the saw, the essence of the hammer.
                    And all his genius depends on 100% only on what kind of managerial hands he is in.

                    Yes.
                    You can buy a hammer for 100 rubles. possible for 3000 wheels.

            There were 47 Falcon-9 launches, the problem was with only 1 Marilyn engine for all these launches. That is, 1 to 470. (On Falcon-9, 9 Marilyn engines in the first, and one in the second) Despite the problem in the launch, Falcon-9 successfully brought the Dragon truck into orbit, but had to lose a side load. That is, the reliability is quite high so that it does not soar about. After all, the engines already in 47 launches have never created a situation for the use of CAC on Dragon 2.

And so on. There is no the most important and interesting, photographs and surveys of the Earth from the moon, it doesn’t enter there, it has gigantic angular dimensions, remember how the Moon is visible from the Earth and increase it in proportion.

And if science fiction films are shown, where astronauts walk on Mars, then it’s also wrong, they will have to move there like frogs, jumping because the earth’s step turns into a jump due to the mismatch of physique, muscles and skeleton with local gravity.

Roscosmos has only one goal - to remove more dough from the budget, not a fly for the next rocket - ala "Angara", and what in the end will not interest them. There are no people in the leadership for whom space is the meaning of life, the desire to create, implement, discover. But in the USA there are a lot of space enthusiasts who strive for discoveries and achieve these discoveries - for fun, Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos are one of them.

              Musk says that at cost he will have 30% savings on the return stage.
              Of the 60 million costs, it will save 20 million.
              This is bad?

              Until our cosmonautics figures (developers from design bureaus, manufacturers like TsSKB Progress) will not receive a salary in the form of a "deal" - "interest" - i.e. they will not become really dependent on profit - you should not wait for the successful work of the astronautics.
              For if there is no aspiration fixed in the commodity-money equivalent, there will be no development.

              Development can of course be done without a “deal" - only now it will be necessary to invest money more than once.
              To block all the jambs, to fill up just with money ...

              And since the rest of the country is already in capitalism, no one will give money for such an unbridled development of outer space.
              Let them learn to spin.
              At least in simple launches, they bring profit.

                Your answer is nothing more than a tautology. I asked a specific question - "Why do we need Mars now?" Can you specifically answer it?

                  When they start building thermonuclear power plants (I note not “if” but “when”) a ton of Helium3 will produce as much energy as a million tons of coal. It is quite pay off already at our level of space development.

          The shuttle is quite a normal performance of the reusable device at the technical level of that time, and this level was higher in the USA than now, because von Braun really understood what he wanted to do and why, when he continued the space program of the Reich in the USA. Unlike the pictures, it’s quite an engineering solution made in metal with a fuel supply tank and not brought, as planned, to reusability in the use of accelerators that remained at the level of solid-fuel single checkers. Another issue is that there was simply no space program for such a truck. Even in layouts, unlike the USSR, under SOI. As a result, the US took World 2.0 and moved to Union.

          Actually, this is the only thing that is needed with the serial production of “barrels” of the last century. Once there is no desire to implement the option “Bast shoes” at a new level, which was proposed by Lozino-Lozinsky. When only a tank would remain a consumable, in the presence of a reusable atmospheric carrier and an orbital apparatus.

                  Note that Musk returns (by parachute) and the nose cone of the rocket -

                        Yes, not a "way", but something like a candle. And where did you see this value? So far, the cost of state launches is really known. And they cost about $ 100 million. If he dumps, as he claims, in separate commercial launches, then to the detriment of himself. The cost of all Proton-M missiles in ALREADY concluded contracts is ~ $ 65 million, the missiles for these contracts have already been made or are being made and this is the selling price on the Western market until the end of production in 2022, and not the cost of launching this rocket in rubles at home . Here it is many times cheaper. And for dumping, we have Proton-Sredny with a contract launch in 2019.

        Success is clear as experiment landing in this way. But commercial use does not fit in the head. How much does the payload take into account the fuel to land? What is the cost of post-flight inspection and detection? How does the weight of a structure change with a larger resource? How many units are disposable? In my opinion, now this is a subsidized program (for example, Concord flights). And even if we accept that the task is purely scientific, working out landing with the possibility of subsequent take-off also does not fit. The thrust of the engines should be optimal, and the weight varies greatly due to the development of fuel. How did they turn out? Two thirds of the engines turn off? So this is ballast then. With the "Shuttles" it was at least clear - aerodynamic descent. And even then, in fact, an expensive thing came out, and not 500 bucks per kilo, as planned.

          And delivery, inspection and preparation of the used stage.

              If you look at the statistics of sales of electric cars, then it is growing steadily. Only in the first quarter of this year in Sweden sales increased by 78%, in Germany sales increased by about 40%, in other regions of the EU sold sales jumped by about 30%.

              The black sheep on this list is Denmark. There, sales of electric cars simply collapsed by 60%. If in the 2015 year in Denmark 2738 cars of the Tesla brand were sold, then in 2016 the number of sales amounted to only 176 cars of the same brand ...

              The reason for this phenomenon is very simple, in Denmark state subsidies for the purchase of electric cars were canceled ...

        The cost of the first stage is 70% because the cost of the returned first stage is 2-2.5 times higher. A different number of engines, other requirements for them. That's all the savings.
        The cost of Falcon 9 is 64 million, and Soyuz-FG 20 missiles .... The real cost of launches is 90 and 70 million, respectively.
        Of 47 Falcon missiles, 2 failed launches, 20 without an attempt to return (maybe the system just didn’t work?), 5 fell to the cosmodrome and only 20 returned. Reused from 20 returnees - 2 (at least that I remember). Know how to count ?!

              Let me remind you that the graph is drawn by moving averages for two years, and the numbers on the left - also the number of commercial launches in two years, and not in one - otherwise the moving one is too noisy. As a result, the charts almost do not respond to pauses in launches, showing trends
              And the trends are that - starting in 2014, the Proton-M market share has been falling, which first flowed to Arianspace, but in the last year, Arianspace began to lose the market in favor of Space-X. In general, it is already obvious to all interested.

If the state-owned company has problems, then bone-dancing and a public relations company begin.
    Z.Y. Americans have much more opportunity to "bury" a private trader if he starts his game. Let's not forget that Al Capone was put on murders or the organization of a criminal community. He was imprisoned for tax evasion. But they came off to the full. As far as I remember, it’s lifelong (or even not one).

        Musk is a puppet

        It’s not a matter of whether he is a puppet or not. I tried to look at everything that was happening from the point of view of a citizen, it seems fashionable now "I pay taxes and you are obligated ...". It is being manipulated, it is constantly poked. And it doesn’t matter what’s different with us. They are trying to impose cliches that are invented in other conditions of the game ...
        Corruption is everywhere; this cannot be denied. But why is the US and the EU obsessed with corruption in Russia, and not at home?
        Because a corrupt official is financially independent and cannot be just manipulated. You will mind, but it all depends on the degree of corruption. If the official understands that he will not succeed in taking more bribes, he will try his best to maintain the status quo. Changing something means losing everything and becoming like everyone else. And if he has a candle factory and he knows that he has enough for a sandwich with sausage, then he will try to work for this factory. He will need a working factory here, not an account there.

    Let’s see how the tests of the manned spacecraft end this year, while they are very optimistic. If everything goes well, then it will be extremely unpleasant for Roskosmos.
    PS. You need to say bluntly that the reason for the growing lag of Russia in space is not in Roscosmos as such (although in it too) but in the state management system itself.

    Where did you see the lag? Who will take the responsibility of launching ten satellites? who besides us carries astronauts and cargo to the ISS? It doesn’t matter that there are accidents, because everyone has them. Our projects are different, look more specifically at what Roskosmos is doing. Amers still cannot make a docking system (but "flew to the moon"). Their projects can be compared with an aircraft model circle. In the meantime, they are purchasing engines from us. And it’s not yet known what the Americans launched there, it’s too secretly they talk about it. No matter how it happened with the lunar fake program. Because, Americans are masters of crafting fakes. Just as we have been postponed or Avria, then you shout to the whole world, and as with them, all the Libers are silent. Take a little interest in who has how many accidents and what is the scale of space activity in countries. American spacecraft commanders are not even on the ISS. Well, they can’t !!!

      Somewhere above I wrote about my vision of a lag. As for the docking system ... and they definitely wanted to do it? I’m not sure, because the capture by the manipulator is a safer system for the station. As for the number of launched satellites, here you still need to look at the quality of delivery and not at the quantity. There are enough cargo launch vehicles there, but common sense should always be present between the desire to cut down the dough more in one launch and the desire to deliver the cargo intact .
      And yes, about the “moon fakes”, when (some time ago) such a fake was the reuse of the stage. So do not rush to conclusions.

      At the same time, both Americans are pulling almost 1 tons of different tasty more to the ISS. The Japanese, in general, like 2 of Progress - the record-breaking HTV-5 brought as many 6,057kg of which of which 4,574 kg climbed into the sealed compartment.

        Again p ... how do we measure? )))) Progress is not just a TGC, it is a modular platform. He delivers cargoes and the tanker and satellites, and even modules with a weight of up to 4 kg can output. The fact that now its sealed compartment of a small size was dictated by the size of the fairing of the Soyuz-U rocket. With the advent of a new fairing of a larger volume on Soyuz-000b and the airtight cargo compartment of Progress will increase. So far, Progress has been certified for Soyuz-2.1a. Since 2.1, the appearance of a new heavy TGK is possible, the preliminary design of which has been developed.

      Falcon-9 regularly launches 10 Iridium satellites; Falcon-9 also regularly carry cargo to the ISS. The United States has a docking system for a long time.
      NASA's docking system (NASA Docking System, abbreviated NDS) is an international passive-active docking mechanism, which is being developed for the future manned space flight on the Orion multipurpose manned spacecraft and for commercial manned spacecraft. This is the first attempt by the Multilateral Coordinating Council of the International Space Station to implement the International Standard for the Docking System. NASA's docking system is also known as the international Low Impact Docking System (iLIDS). [1]

      It is planned to connect two International Docking Adapters (eng. International Docking Adapters, abbreviated as IDA) to the Harmony Module’s Sealed Dock Adapters (another name for the NODE-1 module), one in front, the other at Zenith. [2] These adapters will allow the connection of APAS-95 and NASA's docking system. [2] In 2015, it was planned to deliver two International docking adapters to the ISS using two separate Dragon spacecraft missions [3], however, the IDA-1 Adapter was lost when the Dragon crashed during the SpaceX CRS-7 mission during launch in June 2015 of the year. The IDA-2 adapter was delivered to the ISS later by the SpaceX CRS-9 mission, the Dragon spacecraft.

              "Mask - IMHO - the same state project" ////

              This is a complete misunderstanding of the United States by the Russians.
              The Russians are obsessed with statehood (as happened historically).
              The state is a king, god, policeman, father, mother in one bottle.
              He is praised, scolded, idolized, cursed - according to the situation.
              But everyone agrees that without it - nowhere, you’ll disappear ...
              In the States, God is a private trader, a private entrepreneur. And the state ("federals")
              - something hostile, distant. Which only harms life.
              Therefore, behind any successful private trader: Seryozha Brin or Steve Jobs or Elon Musk, the shadow of state power and help fills the Russian citizen.
              But she is not.

                Evil languages, citing the Los Angeles Times, say that in total 3 Mask companies received from the state (in various forms) from $ 4.9 to $ 5.5 billion.

                Nonetheless, it was the feds who helped GM during the crisis .. I don’t understand why the Mask got used to criticizing the Mask for having state contracts on the site, well, it's ridiculous. EVERYTHING IS EQUAL, he successfully operates fully state-owned Russian companies fellow

    This will be a great omission of the masters of the Unipolar world. How is it that they, having tightly imposed sanctions on our economy, simply put, after spreading it, will forget to rush Roscosmos? Who owns the Cosmos owns the Unipolar world.
    So Musk is a “state project”, but if the masters of the same-sex world invested in it, then I won’t be surprised. To crush competitors in competitive wars is their credo, all the more money flows to them and flows hundreds of billions a year from Russia, bleeding, including Roscosmos.
    We see in the root, dear earthlings. To Cosmos, to the stars, but through the meanest arrogant thorns ...

      You are probably one of these "rocket manufacturers" they all have - everyone is to blame, but not us and not the "Bloodless Roscosmos" - there are so many parasites that they managed to suck out several trillion rubles from the budget, and the output is the non-flying rocket "Angara" "and the Cosmodrome is a work in progress, ambitions are full of pants, and these are all achievements - over 20 years of existence.

    Despite the fact that the topic again fell into the person of Mask, I am sure that any achievement of the human race in space exploration is the progress of the whole society. Even those who do not even know about it and do not know.

    James Webb will have a composite mirror 6,5 meters in diameter (Hubble mirror diameter 2,4 meters) with a collecting surface of 25 m² and a heat shield the size of a tennis court [approx. 1]. The telescope will be placed in a halo orbit at the Lagrange point L2 of the Sun - Earth system.


    At the end of this or at the beginning of next year, our second astrophysical instrument, the joint Russian-German Spektr-RG, will also go to L2 there.
