The spacecraft of the American space development company "SpaceX", which flew in orbit around the earth for the first time in history as a spacecraft that only civilians can board, returned to the earth on the 19th of Japan time.
The space flight, dubbed "Inspiration 4," was designed by American IT company founder Jared Isaacman to raise money for a children's hospital.
The "SpaceX" spacecraft carrying four civilians, including Isaacman, was launched from Florida on the 16th of this month, Japan time, and has a large outlook while flying in orbit around the earth for about three days. We looked at the earth from the window and communicated with patients at the children's hospital.
Then, after 7 am on the 19th of Japan time, the last engine injection was performed, the vehicle entered the atmosphere, the parachute was opened in the sky, and the water landed in the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Florida around 8 am.
The spacecraft was recovered by a ship waiting at sea, and there was a great cheer from those who watched as the four crew members emerged from the hatch one after another.
It is the first time in the history of space development that a spacecraft, which is not affiliated with the military or NASA = NASA = American Aerospace Agency, and is boarded only by civilians, has been launched into an orbit around the earth by a private company. Is expected to get into full swing.
