Rocket Falcon 9

How Falcon 9 was built.


The power behind the Falcon 9 is the
Merlin engine, which is built in-house by
SpaceX. The rocket boasts nine of these
engines clustered together in the first
stage, while the second stage contains a
single Merlin that's modified to fire in
the vacuum of space.
Design
Falcon 9 was designed by Space X. it
reaches the heights of 100000 feet in
seconds with the speed of more than
28000km per hour. It is huge in length
reaching the height of 229.6 feet with
fins. Weighing upto 549,054 kg.
History of Falcon 9.
• The Falcon 9 rocket was developed in 2011–2013,
made its maiden launch in September 2013, and its
final flight in January 2016.
• It was fully designed, manufactured, and operated by
SpaceX.
• The rocket has seen both success and failure, and an
interactive chart showing its launch history since its
inaugural launch on June 4, 2010, is available.
Achievments
• The active version, Falcon 9 Block 5, has flown 183 missions, all
full successes. In 2022 Falcon 9 set a new record of 60 launches
(all successful) by the same launch vehicle type in a calendar year.
The previous record was held by Soyuz-U, which had 47 launches
(45 successful) in 1979. In 2020 it became the first commercial
rocket to ever launch humans to orbit and is currently the only such
vehicle capable of doing so.
