The Falcon 9 rocket developed in America successfully launched into the sky again on July 13, carrying Israel's new generation communication satellite, Dror-1, into orbit. This was reported by Zamin.uz.
This information was published by space.com. The rocket was scheduled to launch from the 40th launch pad at Cape Canaveral in Florida, and there were no delays in the launch schedule.
The Dror-1 satellite was developed by the Israeli defense industry at the request of the country's government, with its main goal being to strengthen Israel's communication infrastructure and securely transmit information. This satellite is expected to operate for 15 years and is valued at approximately 200 million dollars.
Dror-1 is intended not only for civilian communications but also for ensuring secure data transmission between government, military, and state services. The launch of this satellite serves to further enhance Israel's independence and technical capabilities in the global communication field.
Additionally, in this flight, the first stage of the Falcon 9 rocket was used for the 13th time, and after the flight, it successfully landed on the sea platform named "Just Read the Instructions" in the Atlantic Ocean. This demonstrates SpaceX's strengthening of its reuse technology.
Moreover, a few months ago in January, SpaceX also launched the Thuraya 4 satellite belonging to the UAE into space. This satellite is intended to provide mobile communication services in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa.
Experts believe that every mission carried out through SpaceX and Falcon 9 rockets not only achieves astronomical goals but also enhances modern information technology, defense capabilities, and geopolitical influence. The importance of new satellites in ensuring national security alongside data exchange in the modern world has been further proven by the example of Dror-1.
