Space Exploration Technologie Corp. trading as SpaceX, is a private American aerospace manufacturer headquarter Calefonia
Falcon 9 is a reusable, two-stage rocket designed and manufactured by SpaceX for the reliable and safe.
Falcon 9 is equipped with four hypersonic grid fins positioned at the base of the interstage. They orient the rocket during reentry by moving the center of pressure.
The payload fairing is for the delivery of satellites to destination in low Earth orbit (LEO), geosynchronous transfer orbit (GTO) and beyond
Falcon 9’s first stage incorporates nine Merlin engines and aluminum-lithium alloy tanks containing liquid oxygen and rocket-grade kerosene (RP-1) propellant.
Made of a carbon composite material, the fairing protects satellites on their way to orbit.
The second stage, powered by a single Merlin Vacuum Engine, delivers Falcon 9’s payload to the desired orbit. The second stage engine ignites a few seconds after stage separation, and can be restarted multiple times to place multiple payloads into different orbits.
