马斯克Elon Musk的SpaceX刚发布最新太空船Dragon V2,可在地球与国际空间站ISS之间来回穿梭运送最多7名宇航员,而现在唯一可以来回国际空间站的俄罗斯Soyuz只能承载3名宇航员。Dragon V2就是特斯拉Tesla电动汽车的太空版!NASA希望Dragon V2能在2017~18年实现载人飞行。美国NASA刚支付俄罗斯7100多万美元送一位宇航员上ISS!
最近与美国投资人聊:美国与中国ZF都官僚,见了某州的商务部长,中国官员起码可以拍板,但美国官员都是会吹牛但啥事都做不了的庸才。SpaceX最大的创新就是将美国NASA的官僚私有化。期待中国以后也有类似机会!//@Econager_Chen:私营企业能实现载人航天真是了不起,说明市场力量的强大,也是美国强大的根源

马斯克将发布载人宇宙飞船Dragon 2
据Space网站报道,经过多年的开发,私人航天公司SpaceX即将发布旗下首个载人宇宙飞船Dragon 2。
SpaceX CEO埃隆·(Elon Musk)将于美国东部时间周四晚上10点(北京时间周五上午10点)在该公司火箭工厂举行的一场只有邀请才能参加的特别发布会上,揭晓Dragon 2载人宇宙飞船的设计。 SpaceX还设计了商用分离舱,供美国宇航局的宇航员往返于国际空间站。
Dragon 2外观呈水果糖状,可以承载7名宇航员,最大载人量相当于NASA的航天飞机,是俄罗斯Soyuz号太空船载人量的两倍以上。Soyuz只能承载3名宇航员。
和无人宇宙飞船Dragon不同的是,Dragon 2将采用SpaceX的Falcon 9火箭进行发射,利用太阳能电池板供能。

SpaceX推出第二代太空船 可载七名宇航员
据《连线》网站报道,伊隆·马斯克(Elon Musk)旗下的宇航公司SpaceX在美国太平洋时间29日晚上7点,推出了可在地球与国际空间站之间来回穿梭运送宇航员的最新太空船Dragon V2(第二代)。马斯克还拥有生产电动汽车的特斯拉公司。
Dragon V2是Dragon太空船的改进版,后者从2012年10月起进行了3次向国际空间站运送物质的无人飞行任务,最后一次在本月初返回了地面。美国宇航局(NASA)希望新的太空船能在2017或2018年实现载人飞行。今年早些时候,美国宣布太空站计划延长至2024年。
但2011年美国就终止了航天飞机计划,将宇航员送到国际空间站的唯一方法是搭载俄罗斯的联盟号飞船。昨天联盟号飞船刚将包括美国宇航员雷德·威丝曼(Reid Wiseman)在内的乘员送入太空,美国为此支付了7000多万美元费用。
最近,由于美国在乌克兰问题上对俄罗斯实施制裁,俄罗斯威胁停止运送美国宇航员进入国际空间站,搭乘联盟号飞船成为不具吸引力的选择。为此,NASA与波音和Sierra Nevada公司也签署合同,希望两家公司与SpaceX一起开发飞船运送宇航员。
不过SpaceX有一个优势,已经基本开发出了带推进器的太空船,可使飞船乘员在火箭出现问题时让飞船与之分离,终止飞行任务。这些被称为SuperDracos的推进器本周进行了点火测试并通过了质量检验。
马斯克当日在洛杉矶郊外的SpaceX操作间展示了最新的太空船。他站在旁边摆放着新飞船的舞台上向与会者介绍了其功能,用电脑动画描述飞船如何使用推进器在返回地球表面时进行无降落伞的软着陆。马斯克称:“这是21世纪的太空飞船,可以快速重复使用。”
他表示,新飞船将安装原先飞船发动机的“超能”版,并能与国际空间站对接。与航天飞机一样,新飞船也可搭载7名宇航员,预计2-3年内实现首次载人试飞。与Dragon无人飞船一样,Dragon V2飞船也将通过SpaceX研发的猎鹰9号火箭发射升空。
SpaceX Unveils Dragon V2 Spaceship, a Manned Space Taxi for Astronauts
May 30, 2014 Space.com
Elon Musk, the billionaire entrepreneur behind the private spaceflight company SpaceX, unveiled his firm's latest innovation — the Dragon V2 manned spaceship —Thursday night (May 29) in a stylish debut for the 21st-century space taxi for astronauts.

SpaceX's Dragon Version 2 crewed spacecraft has a sleek interior design, complete with a large tablet-like computer that swivels down in front of the capsule's tan leather seats. The manned space capsule can ferrying up to seven astronauts to and from destinations like the International Space Station, Musk said during the reveal, which SpaceX webcast live online from its headquarters in Hawthorne, California.
"I think it's really a big leap forward in technology," Musk said. "It really takes things to the next level."
SpaceX Dragon V2 Launch
The new SpaceX Dragon V2 seems to be an amazing machine, capable of transporting seven astronauts to orbit and then soft-land anywhere on Earth using thrusters and retractile legs—with the accuracy of an helicopter. Elon Musk claims that they will be able to refuel it and launch it again right away.
NASA Pays Russians $71 Million to Send American Astronaut into Space

The Wire reports:
- Early tomorrow morning, NASA astronaut Steve Swanson will hitch a ride to the International Space Station aboard a Russian Soyuz spacecraft, costing the federal agency a cool $70.7 million that will surely end up in the Kremlin’s coffers. So you can understand get why they’re not taking this whole Western sanctions thing so seriously.
- Swanson will join cosmonauts Alexander Skvortsov and Oleg Oleg Artemyev on the journey, which will deliver to them to the ISS. They will join a team of three, NASA astronaut Rick Mastracchio, cosmonauts Mikhail Yurin and JAXA astronaut Koichi Wakata. NASA secured Swanson’s space on the mission in April of last year, when NASA agreed to pay Russia a total of $424 million for six space tickets through 2017.
President Obama cancelled NASA’s $9 billion space program in 2010, which was set to build three new shuttles.
“To people who are working on these programs, this is like a death in the family,” NASA chief Charles Bolden said at the time.
Bolden has expressed concern about relying on the Russians for space missions, and others are worried that current tensions with the country could leave American astronauts stranded in space.
SpaceX CEO Elon Musk said it is “embarrassing that the United States has to thumb rides from the Russians.”
“We’re being forced to pay over $70 million dollars per seat to the Russians just to go to the Space Station and they have us over a barrel,” he said. “Being at Putin’s mercy is not a good place to be.”
