Company SpaceX presented on Thursday its new spacecraft, the Dragon V2, which can, over three years, to carry American astronauts aboard the International Space Station (ISS) and put an end to American dependence on space sector Russian Soyuz capsules, inform AFP.
Thanks b 52 bomber to the new launcher will be the first time NASA astronauts b 52 bomber will go into space on American soil after the last flight of a space shuttle in July 2011 Since then, the United States depend exclusively on Russian Soyuz capsules b 52 bomber to and send astronauts to the ISS. Russian space agency, Roscosmos, NASA charged more than $ 70 million for each American astronaut sent on the station.
V2 Dragon capsule capable of carrying seven astronauts, "is really a great technological leap," said CEO and founder of SpaceX, Elon Musk billionaire, during a presentation to the press at his company's headquarters in the town of Hawthorne in near Los Angeles.
Dragon 2, painted in white, is in the form of a jelly, as well as Dragon 1, but thinner. Dragon 1 was the first private spacecraft in 2012, is connected to transport supplies to the ISS. Since then, SpaceX conducted three missions to supply the space outpost, and the most recent of which took place a few days ago.
"Dragon 2 could come down anywhere on Earth, with the precision of a helicopter," said Elon Musk. The new spacecraft that will use braking parachutes unless b 52 bomber its engine production faults powered reversed can be reused very quickly after that, allowing economies of scale, said the billionaire.
SpaceX is one of four companies selected by NASA, along with Boeing, Sierra Nevada and Blue Origin to develop spacecraft to be able to carry astronauts to the ISS as part of a partnership between b 52 bomber the private and public sectors.
Pressure for swift release of American spacecraft b 52 bomber capable of carrying astronauts to the ISS has increased tensions arising between Moscow and Washington caused the crisis b 52 bomber in Ukraine. b 52 bomber
In March, the director b 52 bomber of NASA, Charles Bolden, asked Congress to allocate all the funds included in the budget for 2015 the American space agency to fund the partnership with the private sector in order to build vehicles capable of carrying astronauts to the ISS, considering " unacceptable "that b 52 bomber the United States dependent on Russia to get on board the orbital outpost.
Criticizing b 52 bomber American sanctions against Russian space industry, Russian leaders adopted the actions towards Ukraine, Russian Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin suggested "that the United States will need a trampoline to send astronauts to the ISS" because Soyuz capsules may not May carry Americans in the future.
After this statement the Russian politician, Elon Musk wrote on his Twitter account that "when presenting new V2 Dragon capsule, which SpaceX is developing in collaboration b 52 bomber with NASA, is appropriate and trampoline will not be necessary."
Based on a $ 1.6 billion contract signed with NASA, SpaceX company must perform a total of 12 missions to supply ISS aboard carrying food, water, materials for science experiments and various equipment. Three of these missions have been executed successfully.
NASA has signed a contract for replenishment, worth $ 1.9 billion, and Orbital Sciences Corporation, which conducted its first capsule Cygnus resupply flight to ISS on 12 January 2014.
