Falcon-9 v1.1 |
Falcon-9 v1.1 is a liquid fueled orbital launch vehicle for medium sized missions, which is developed by SpaceX (Space Exploration Technologies Corp.). It is an improved version of the Falcon-9 v1.0 launch vehicle. Both stages are Kerosene / LOX fueled.
The Falcon-9 v1.1 features stretched stages and rearranged engines in stage 1.
The first stage, which is potentially reusable after recovery by parachutes, is powered by 9 of the SpaceX built Merlin-1D engines with regenerative cooling. The upper stage uses a single Merlin engine and will also be potentially reusable. The Falcon-9 is offered with a 5.2 m fairing.
Launch site for low inclination launches is Cape Canaveral launch pad SLC-40. High inclination launches will launch from Vandenberg AFB. An additional launch site near Brownsville, Texas, is also under consideration.
The Falcon-9 will also lift the Dragon space capsule for ISS cargo flights, which might be developed into a manned spacecraft.
