The space program named Dragon represents a rocket of the company SpaceX, which is created under the guidance of one of the greatest visionaries of today, who is also an outstanding master of advertising. Namely, Elon Musk is selling us the dream of a reusable rocket that will have engines printed with 3D technology and would land vertically upon reentry into the atmosphere. Since Elon always delivers on what he promises in such presentations, we like the idea a lot.
Elon Musk, who, among other things, is also the founder of the company Tesla Motors, unveiled a revolutionary rocket last week Dragon V1, representing the first rocket for commercial spaceflight. Unlike the previous Dragon rocket, which was intended to deliver cargo to the space station ISS, it will be able to take into space up to 7 astronauts. Rocket Dragon V2, represents a milestone in space technologies. One of the most important features will be the innovative autopilots that will control the vehicle during vertical landing and when docking with the space station. The core of the innovation lies in the technology of the motors, which are made of titanium and are printed in 3d technology. After use, the rocket will be quickly ready for the next flight. This, in turn, is expected to reduce the costs of space travel to a great extent.
Landing anywhere on earth, under any conditions
The essence of innovation lies in intelligent system for steering and landing, which should allow the rocket to return to earth as v science fiction films with vertical landing. Elon Musk claims that landings will be almost as accurate as helicopter landings.
Futurism even inside the rocket
Why should she? rocket look different than Dragon V looks. Elon Musk always advocates minimalism. And so it is with this project. You can see more in the gallery below.
