Falcon 9 v1.1 is the second version of SpaceX's Falcon 9 orbital launch vehicle. The rocket was developed in 2011–2013, and made its maiden launch in September 2013.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.spacelaunchreport.com/falcon9v1-1.html )〕 It is designed, manufactured, and operated by SpaceX. , it is the only active rocket of the Falcon rocket family. Falcon 9 v1.1 is scheduled to launch crew for NASA under a 2014 contract that enables private organizations to launch crew to the ISS.〔 Falcon 9 v1.1 is a significantly redesigned version of the Falcon 9 v1.0, with 60 percent more thrust and weight. It flew for the first time on a demonstration mission on the sixth overall launch of any Falcon 9 on September 29, 2013.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.cbsnews.com/video/watch/?id=50156088n )〕 Both stages of the two-stage-to-orbit vehicle use liquid oxygen (LOX) and rocket-grade kerosene (RP-1) propellants.〔 The Falcon 9 v1.1 can lift payloads of to low Earth orbit, and to geostationary transfer orbit,〔 which places the Falcon 9 design in the medium-lift range of launch systems.〔(NASA Space Technology Roadmaps - Launch Propulsion Systems, p.11 ): "Small: 0-2t payloads, Medium: 2-20t payloads, Heavy: 20-50t payloads, Super Heavy: >50t payloads"〕 The Falcon 9 v1.1 and Dragon capsule combination is being used, beginning in April 2014, to resupply the International Space Station under a contract with NASA. SpaceX is developing the Falcon 9 v1.1 to be able to carry humans. In late 2014, NASA awarded at least two crewed missions to SpaceX with the Falcon 9 v1.1 and Crew Dragon, with the potential for up to six. == Design == The base Falcon 9 v1.1 is a two-stage, LOX/RP-1–powered launch vehicle.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Falcon 9 v1.1」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
