Thales
Alenia Space to launch a satellite Turkmen Turkmensat / Monacosat in
late 2014 or early 2015 with the help of rocket Falcon 9.
Space
Exploration Technologies Corporation (SpaceX) - US-based manufacturer
of space launch Falcon - was founded in June 2002, the creator of the
well-known payment system PayPal Elon Musk. The company now employs more than 3,000 people in California, Texas, Washington and Florida.
"We
appreciate the confidence of Thales in our ability to successfully
deliver into orbit the first satellite of Turkmenistan" - said Gwynne
Shotwell, President of SpaceX. "We
are pleased to see that the market is expanding due to new consumers
and SpaceX is looking forward estimates of missiles, as the most
reliable and advanced to customers around the globe."
Satellite
Turkmensat will still hang at the height of 35,786 kilometers from the
Earth's surface over the territory of Turkmenistan.
Originally
it was planned that the first Turkmen satellite will be delivered into
orbit from the Xichang Satellite Launch Center of Chinese missile "The
Long March". However,
this became impossible after the number of components was introduced in
the U.S. in the list of banned to transfer to China.
Thales
company had to find a replacement, and the final choice was made
between the two candidates - ECA Ariane 5 and the SpaceX Falcon 9. The launch will be done SpaceH from the spaceport at Cape Canaveral.
The company offers the use of the Falcon 9 to deliver satellites into geostationary orbit at approximately $ 60 million. This price is quite low and competitive.
