Использованная при запуске спутника GovSat-1 первая ступень ракеты в мае прошлого года была задействована для вывода на орбиту спутника NROL-76.
Спутник GovSat-1, принадлежащий компании LuxGovSat, совместному предприятию между правительством Люксембурга и спутниковым оператором SES, будет использоваться для обеспечения военных операций защищенной связью.
Ранее компания SpaceX провела успешное огневое испытание ракеты-носителя Falcon Heavy, которую строит для будущих пилотируемых полетов и полетов на Луну и Марс.
Ранее Informtime сообщал, что США запустили секретный спутник в космос.
