by Ben Evans Nov 24
(...) Tonight’s spectacular launch equaled with 2020 for the greatest number of Falcon 9 flights in a single calendar year. So far, SpaceX has executed 26 missions, using only nine booster cores, with two launches out of Vandenberg, ten from historic Pad 39A at the Kennedy Space Center (KSC) in Florida and the remaining 14 from Space Launch Complex (SLC)-40 at neighboring Cape Canaveral Space Force Station.
This year’s roster to date has seen 15 dedicated Starlink missions, a pair of multi-payload Transporter “rideshares” in January and June and two Cargo Dragon and two Crew Dragon flights to the International Space Station (ISS).
Additional launches included a pair of geostationary communications satellites for SiriusXM and the Turkish Government and last September’s historic all-civilian Inspiration4 crewed mission to low-Earth orbit.
With the flight of DART, SpaceX has also sent its first payload to a physical destination in deep space. Although it previously lofted the Deep Space Climate Observatory (DSCOVR), bound for the L1 Lagrange Point, situated some 930,000 miles (1.1 million kilometers) beyond Earth, back in February 2015, and the maiden voyage of the Falcon Heavy set Elon Musk’s cherry-red Tesla Roadster on a Mars-crossing trajectory in February 2018, DART is taking specific aim on a deep-space target: the binary asteroid system of Didymos and its small companion, Dimorphos.
As outlined in AmericaSpace’s preview story, the 1,480-pound (670-kilogram) DART is a ten-month mission to hit Dimorphos at a velocity of about 4.1 miles per second (6.5 kilometers per second) in October 2022. It is hoped that the impact will disrupt Dimorphos sufficiently as to slow its near-circular path around Didymos by as much as ten minutes, reducing its orbital length from 11.9 hours to about 11.83 hours.
